Digital thermometers have replaced mercury thermometers because mercury is toxic. [Personal commentary: digital thermometers are not accurate and mercury thermometers are so how many people are being harmed by not knowing their temperature versus how many would be harmed by the mercury if accurate thermometers were still used?]
Mercury is the element commonly used in liquid-in-glass thermometers.
mercury is used in thermometers
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.
Water was initially used and later on alcohol was used.
Mercury is commonly used in thermometers due to its unique properties, such as its ability to expand uniformly with temperature changes. However, due to its toxicity, digital thermometers with safer alternatives like alcohol or gallium are now more widely used.
