No, it is a type of metal. It could be potentially dangerous to humans if ingested. Before alcohol was used in thermometers, Mercury was used instead. It's chemical symbol is Hg. It is also one of the metallic chemical elements that are liquid at or near room temperature and pressure.

Does Jupiter and mercury have water?
Jupiter has some H2O. Some of it is in the form of gas, and some in the form of ice. Virtually none of Jupiter's "water" is in the liquid state. Mercury has no water.
Which planet contains frozen ice caps and oceans?
Two planets have frozen ice caps: Earth and Mars. In November 2012 scientists found evidence of ice on the poles of Mercury. However, only the Earth has oceans.
What planets have water ice at their poles?
Earth & Mars for sure, probably all the gas giants, and possibly Mercury & the Moon.
Does Mercury have polar ice caps?
No, however there is some indirect evidence of Ice on the bottom of craters on its north pole. It was discovered via radar observations. Ice is one of the few materials that are very radar reflective when frozen, and it was discovered that Mercury has very reflective matter in its northern craters.
Why are jovian moons more geologically active than the moon or mercury?
Jovian moons are made mostly of ice that can melt or deform at lower temperatures than can the rock and metal that make up the Moon and Mercury.
Does ice floats in Mercury?
Yes. Ice floats in water because it is less dense. Mercury is over ten times denser than water. So ice easily floats in mercury.
Do mercury have ice on it?
Yes
Is there ice on mercury?
yes
Does mercury have ice?
yes
Does Saturn or mercury have ice?
Hey Cyrstal here Saturn's rings are made of rock and ice but Mercury does not have ice. Cyrstal Comment: Not a bad answer, but it's thought Mercury has some ice, in craters at the poles. Also I think there is a small amount of water ice in the atmosphere of Saturn.
Is there evidence of water on mercury?
There is ice on it.
Will a block of ice sink in mercury metal?
No, the density of water ice (0.92) is far below that of mercury (13.6) and so the ice will float on liquid mercury. Even iron density 7.85) and copper (8.73) and lead (11.3) will float on mercury but gold (density 19.6) sinks!
What planet has no ice?
Mercury and Maybe Venus
What are some characteristics of Mercury?
Mercury has no atmosphere, is the closet to the sun, and has ice in some craters.
How is it possible mercury to have frozen ice?
because Mercury cant trap heat because it has no atmosphere
