What characteristics must a liquid have before it can be used in a thermometer?
One thermometric property that is required is that it must vary linearly with temperature. In liquid-in-glass thermometers, the length of the liquid thread is often used to determine temperature. Thus when temperature increases, the liquid must expand uniformly with temperature, so that it can be used to measure temperature accurately.
What is a thin glass tube with a bulb on on end that contains liquid usually mercury?
It is a thermometer, and is used to show the temperature.
The liquid most commonly used in a thermometer is either mercury or?

Why silver cannot be used in a glass thermometer?
The liquid used in a glass thermometer needs to expand linearly with temperature. It probably does not so it cannot be used. Besides, silver is expensive.
What is a laboratory thermometer?
A laboratory thermometer is used to check the temperature, or changes in temperature, of an object with precise accuracy.
How does the thermometer used to measure air temperature differ from the thermometer used to take your temperature?
A thermometer used to measure air temperature uses a glass tube filled with a liquid either alcohol or mercury. When the temperature increases the particles of liquid expand, filling the glass tub. Thermometers that are used to measure you body temperature uses infrared sensors.
