Mercury thermometers are still used in some industrial applications and laboratories due to their accuracy and ability to measure high temperatures. However, their use is declining due to the potential health and environmental risks associated with mercury exposure. In many situations, digital thermometers or other types of non-mercury thermometers are used instead.
Mercury used to be a popular element for thermometers, but I think it's illegal to make a mercury thermometer because if you break one you have a hazardous situation on your hands. Today thermometers that contain liquid, almost always contain alcohol.
Mercury is used in thermometers.
Alcohol is most common in modern thermometers. Early thermometers used mercury, but these pose a possible health threat. Today, both are being replaced by electronic instruments.
A thermometer is used to measure air temperature. Several types of thermometers can be used, such as liquid-in-glass thermometers, digital thermometers, and infrared thermometers.
The instrument used for measuring the temperature of a sick person is called a thermometer. There are various types, including digital thermometers, infrared thermometers, and mercury thermometers, each designed to provide accurate temperature readings. Digital thermometers are the most commonly used today due to their speed and ease of use.
A thermometer is used to measure temperature. There are various types of thermometers such as digital thermometers, mercury thermometers, infrared thermometers, and thermocouples.
A thermometer is used to measure the temperature of a body. There are various types of thermometers, such as digital thermometers, infrared thermometers, and mercury thermometers.
In normal and some medical thermometers Mercury is used. That is why you may want to consider using electric thermometers which are more commonly used. They use no mercury.
Mercury (Atomic number 80) is still used in some thermometers.
Most thermometers used to contain mercury until it was found to be toxic.
