It is stable, although there are heavier isotopes that could be radioactive.
No. Mercury-201, or 201Hg, is stable.
Mercury-201 is stable and does not decay.
There are 8 isotopes of mercury but there are only 7 stable isotopes: 196, 198, 199, 200, 201, 202 and 204.
The Earth is not going to collide with Mercury. They both have stable orbits, and will stay millions of miles apart.
Orangy because of the heat and gases.Mercury is essentially a big, round, ugly rock.
The population will remain stable
Mercury is a pretty stable liquid, and won't freeze. But, given the scare about mercury poisoning, the thermometers that have been around for decades and use alcohol have been getting more popular.
The number of neutrons in an atom of mercury depends on the isotope. The most common mercury isotope has 122. The average number of neutrons in an atom of mercury is about 120.

The 6s orbital in mercury is particularly stable for a variety of reasons, which results in mercury forming relatively weak metallic bonds and in effect acting as a sort of pseudo- noble gas.
No the element Mercury is not Radioactive. None of the mercury ordinarily found in nature is radioactive. Like all elements, there are synthetic radioactive isotopes of mercury.
