Liquid Mercury is an element, therefor cannot be made of any other compound. Its atomic number is 80 and its mass number is 200.59. It is one of only 2 elements that is liquid at room temperature (the other one is bromine). It is commonly used in thermometers. It is poisonous and can be ingested when eating food such as fish (but is not at high enough levels to cause major harm when ingested as long as eating that kind of food is restrained).
