This is mercury, Hg. The chemical symbol reflects the old greek name which means silver water. Quite a pretty name I think.
There is only one metal that is liquid at standard temperature and pressure. It is mercury, formerly called "Hydragyrum".

No metals always in a liquid state. There is always some temperature where a metal is liquid ("molten").
Hydragyrum is the Latin name for the element mercury, which is a heavy metal that is liquid at room temperature. It is used in various industrial processes, electrical devices, and measuring instruments. However, mercury is toxic to humans and the environment, so its use is regulated to prevent harm.
Mercury. The symbol comes from the Latin name "Hydragyrum", which in turn comes from the Greek for "liquid silver"
Mercury used to be called quicksilver, and also hydrargyrum, meaning watery or liquid silver, which is where it gets its chemical symbol Hg from.
In period 6, group 12 of the periodic table, mercury is the only liquid metal. It's the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. Mercury is known for its unique properties, such as high density and low melting point.
No, not liquid (mercury is the only liquid metal known) Yes, it is a metal!
quenching
Molten ore refers to metal in a liquid state, typically resulting from heating raw ore material to high temperatures. This molten form allows for easier extraction and processing of the metal from the ore.
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).
