Mercury is a liquid at room temperature. It is an element with 60 protons, 60 electrons and about 120 electrons. It can have a different amount of matter depending on how much of it there is. Answer by: Supernerd
The amount of electrons in mercury is (80)electrons.
Mercury has 80 electrons in it.
There are 69 electrons.
Mercury has 2 electrons in its outer level, which is the 6th and final energy level for mercury.
A Mercury atom has 80 electrons.
Mercury has 80 electrons which means there are 6 shells in a neutral atom of mercury.
there are six
Mercury is a liquid at standard temperature and pressure (STP), while the other metals are solids. There are many reasons for this, one of which is that mercury holds its six valence electrons more strongly than do most of the other metals. In most metals, the electrons travel relatively freely, forming a sea of mobile valence electrons, but the electrons are more centralized in mercury atoms. As a result, the intermolecular forces (the forces holding them together) between mercury atoms are weaker than those between other metals, so it has a lower melting point, and is a liquid at STP.
Mercury easily shares its valence electrons
The liquid metal in many thermometer is mercury (Hg).
