A thermometer in which the liquid is blue or red probably contains alcohol with a coloring agent added to make it easier to see. If the liquid is silvery and metallic-looking, it's most likely Mercury or one of the new less toxic alloys such as Galinstan (gallium, indium, and tin).
The liquid expand from heat. We use these expansion to indicate temperature. Common thermometer liquid is Mercury and alcohol.
it is alcohol to disinfect the thermometer
Mercury and alcohol [liquid elements]
Because that will mess with the temperature reading on the thermometer. And it would be dangerous if the thermometer is broken as there are dangerous chemicals (i.e.mercury) inside.
it is dipped in alchol

There are many kinds of thermometer in use. Liquid in glass thermometers usually contain alcohol (dyed red or blue) or mercury (silvery coloured).
Mercury the liquid inside thermometer is mercury.. but it is called thermometric liquid.
When the liquid in the thermometer gets warmer it expands.
what do they use for the liquid in glass ball thermometer
thermometer
As the liquid in the thermometer is heated it expands, and the only way the expanding liquid can go is upward. As the liquid in the thermometer cools, it will contract, and the liquid will fall back down into the resevoir, causing the column of liquid to move downward.
In a thermometer is a liquid metal called Mercury, so the liquid expands when it is heated up.
the liguid inside the thermometer is Mercury.
This depends on the thermometer model.
the temparature of the liquid must be read while the thermometer is in the liquid.since the level of mercury drops as soon as the thermometer is taken out of the liquid ,therefore no need of the kink in thermometer.
The liquid in a clinical thermometer is often mercury. But there are thermometers that use a coloured alcohol.
