Because it has the highest boiling point.
-sorry if it is wrong-
Oh, dude, that's a great question! So, technically speaking, tungsten would require the most energy per million atoms to boil because it has the highest boiling point of any metal. It's like the diva of the periodic table, demanding all the energy to make it budge. So, if you're ever in a boiling competition with metals, bet on tungsten to take its sweet time heating up!
Mars is the closest planet to the sun, and receives the most energy.
Mercury is a metal unlike water which have hydrogen bonding. Mercury does not wet most substances, because of its high cohesion and low adhesion to the glass mercury will not wet glass. Cohesion, along with adhesion(attraction between unlike molecules), can help explain mercury phenomena. Mercury has a surface energy over 6 times greater than that of water so there is a much greater attractive force between the atoms of mercury than between the molecules of water, so mercury does not wet glass.
Actually anything that won't freeze or boil at the operating range of the thermometer. The most common are mercury and alcohol.
not methyl mercury most toxic form of mercury is dimethyl mercury
it uses a lot of mercury gas, it is being proven that due to this it is notthe most energy effiient.
Decreasing the pressure -APEX
Mercury is most often found in thermometers.
It has to be 212 or better to boil so at least that much.
Mercury is an element itself with its own place on the periodic table with an atomic number of 80. Therefore, the most abundant element in mercury is, mercury.
To boil the water, most commonly used is a tea pot. Otherwise, you could use a small pot, and some people put a mug full of water into a microwave to boil, too.
Older computers might have mercury, but most modern computers are Mercury-Free.
