Mercury is highly toxic (poisonous). The gas evaporating from the spilled liquid mercury is dangerous.
Mercury is highly toxic.
Water was initially used and later on alcohol was used.
It is because it is electric
it is mercury. its actually a liquid at room temperature.
Yes. Most standard lab thermometers are either alcohol or mercury filled.
I don't know about better, but they can measure lower temperatures.
no,digital thermometers don't have mercury whereas clinical thermometers have mercury.
Mercury is not used in thermometers, because mercury is poisonous.
Mercury in thermometers is in a liquid state, since mercury is liquid at room temperature.
Mercury is common in both fish and thermometers. Although nowadays they make thermometers without mercury in them.
Digital thermometers have replaced mercury thermometers because mercury is toxic. [Personal commentary: digital thermometers are not accurate and mercury thermometers are so how many people are being harmed by not knowing their temperature versus how many would be harmed by the mercury if accurate thermometers were still used?]
In ordinary bulb thermometers, yes.
Mercury thermometers are rarely used, except in lab thermometers. For human use, they have been replaced by dyed alcohol glass thermometers, or electronic digital thermometers.
the element used in termometers is Mercury.
In normal and some medical thermometers Mercury is used. That is why you may want to consider using electric thermometers which are more commonly used. They use no mercury.
Digital thermometers measure electrical resistance and Mercury thermometers measure thermal expansion.
When mercury filled thermometers break, the mercury is released. Mercury is toxic to people, pets and the environment. There is a long history of mercury from broken thermometers and other medical devices being improperly dealt with, or even ignored. Since there are adequate replacements for mercury thermometers, OSHA, EPA, AMA and others discourage the use of mercury thermometers and encourage their replacement with thermometers using other technologies.
Mercury is used in thermometers.
