Mercury!
Mercury is the element commonly used in liquid-in-glass thermometers.
Mercury is a liquid metal used in thermometers. However, it becomes a solid at -37.9 F and it can cause mercury poisoning if ingested or inhaled. Therefore, most theremometers use ethyl-alcohol or a plastic strip covered with liquid crystals (called a liquid crystal thermometer).

Many thermometers use the liquid metal mercury, Hg.
Most thermometers contain either mercury or alcohol as the liquid metal. Mercury thermometers are being phased out due to the toxicity of mercury. Alcohol-based thermometers are safer and more environmentally friendly.
There is only one metal which is liquid at room temperature and that is Mercury (symbol Hg).

Mercury is the metal element traditionally used in thermometers due to its ability to expand and contract uniformly with changes in temperature. However, due to its toxicity, mercury thermometers are being phased out in favor of digital alternatives.
Mercury. The metal gives off poisonous vapours - and has largely been replaced by alcohol.
While mercury is a silvery liquid metal at room temperature, it is toxic to humans and the environment. Due to its hazardous properties, the use of mercury in thermometers has been phased out in many countries in favor of safer alternatives like digital thermometers.
Mercury in thermometers: they expand and shrink but are still liquids inside the thermometer. It is still considered a metal and it is liquid at room temp.
