Mercury is the liquid metal that was traditionally used in thermometers due to its unique properties such as high thermal conductivity and wide temperature range. However, due to its toxicity, most modern thermometers now use a safer alternative like alcohol or gallium.
Mercury is a liquid metal used in thermometers. However, it becomes a solid at -37.9 F and it can cause mercury poisoning if ingested or inhaled. Therefore, most theremometers use ethyl-alcohol or a plastic strip covered with liquid crystals (called a liquid crystal thermometer).
