Pure Mercury is homogeneous and is an element, which is a pure substance, and not a mixture. There is little chance that you will encounter pure mercury because it exists only in textbooks. In reality, there are always other impurities mixed and dissolved in the mercury. The liquid mercury obtained from chemical suppliers claims to be at least 99.99% pure. This would be a pure substance, not a mixture, only if it were 100% pure. "Close to pure" is not pure. "Pure" only exists in textbooks.
it is very shiny, slimy, opaque & can be easily obtained in a pure state.
Mercury is the best conductor in its pure liquid state, as it has high electrical conductivity due to its free-flowing electrons.
The amount of pure Mercury found on earth is relatively low compared to other elements. Finding pure mercury itself in large pools for nearly all purposes is impossible and finding mercury in its pure state (liquid) is also rare. But Mercury is not a rare element because it's found in large amounts. Mostly all mercury is found in its impure state in a red ore called cinnabar (HgS), which is made up of mercury and sulphur. Much of the worlds Mercury in mined in Spain and Italy. though several other countries also produce commercial quantities.
Its mostly solid except for mercury. Mercury is liquid at room temperature.
No, mercury is a pure substance.
Yes, mercury (Hg) is considered a pure substance when it is in its elemental form, consisting solely of mercury atoms. It has a consistent composition and distinct properties, such as its metallic luster and liquid state at room temperature. However, if mercury is mixed with other elements or compounds, it would then be classified as a mixture rather than a pure substance.
Mercury is an element; its symbol is Hg. You can find it on the Periodic Table of Elements in the transition state section.
Mercury is considered a pure substance because it is made up of only one type of atom, which is mercury itself. It does not contain any impurities or other substances mixed in with it, making it a pure element.
Not in pure Mercury, it is an element.
None, mercury is a pure element.
