FALSE. There are probably 15 elements more dense than Mercury. A few examples would be Osmium, Platinum, and Gold, just to name a few.

Why is mercury is filled in thermometer?

Mercury-in-glass thermometers are generally no longer used in a medical setting in most modern countries, and are being phased out around the world (although they are still useful in scientific applications, such as barometers). Mercury is highly toxic, and does not metabolize out of the body normally. Mercury has a number of physical properties that make it ideal for measuring pressure changes (heat, such as in a thermometer, creates a change in pressure inside a closed environment). It is a metal, nonmagnetic, very dense, but liquid at room temperature (mercury's freezing point is -39 C, and it boils at 357 C). It does not expand or contract very much with temperature changes, and thus will not burst out of a confined glass tube as long as there is a bit of room inside the tube (usually a vacuum or something like nitrogen) for movement. Also, such expansion and contraction is consistent and predictable. Mercury is not the only substance that could be used for this purpose, but it is the best fit.

How do you list liquids in order from least dense to most dense?

First, you need to look up, calculate, or measure the density of each liquid. Then you can make a list, and sort the list.Both MS-Word and Excel have options for sorting lists; or if the list is relatively short, you can do it manually.
