∙ 11y agoAnything denser than Mercury will sink in it, assuming it doesn't react with it. For example, Plutonium will sink in mercury.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoit may be decided by density for solid mercury.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoAnything with a lower specific density such as, coal, bricks, copper, iron, brass, etc.

What substances will sink in mercury?
the solids that will float on liquid mercury are coal, ironware's or objects with lower specific density
What will happen if you put led in mercury liquid?
It will sink :-)
What is the metallic element at room tempeture?
Excepting mercury all metals are solids at room temperature.
Will neptunium float or sink in mercury?
The accepted average density of Neptunium is 19.38 g/cm3 (it is radioactive with several isotopes with somewhat different inherent densities) The average density of Mercury is 13.534 g/cm3 Since Neptunium is more dense than Mercury a sample would be expected to sink in Mercury
Why does mercury have a double sunrise?
Mercury has a double sunrise because when the sun rises a bit, an orbital effect makes it sink down and rise again.
What substances will sink in mercury?
the solids that will float on liquid mercury are coal, ironware's or objects with lower specific density
Is mercury sink or float if you placed in sea water?
Mercury is a heavy metal, it will sink in sea water.
Why are solids not put down sinks in a science lab?
Solids would block the waste pipe of the sink.
The density of mercury is 5427 kgm3. If the density of water is 1.0 gmL will mercury float or sink in water?
1. The density of mercury is 13 534 kg/m3.2. Mercury sink in water.
What solids are good conductors?
All metals are solids and good conductors apart from Mercury which is a liquid but is a good conductor.
Why does gold sink in Mercury?
Gold is more dense than mercury
Does lead float or sink in liquid mercury?
Lead floats in mercury.
Would Mercury float or sink?
In water mercury would sink very quickly as it is very heavy. Keep in mind that part of mercury dissolves in water and is extremely poisonous.
Are solids a metal?
All the solids are not metals they may be non metals and other compounds but except Mercury all the metals are solids.
Are mercury thermometers made out of a solids?
They are made out of glass which is a metastable solid.
Are solids Less dense than liquids?
some solids are more dense than liquids (they sink) but others are less dense which is why not all solids sink
Are all metallic metals solids?
All Metals except Hg (Mercury) are solids at room temperature.
