What is the difference between heavy metals and the other metals?
Scientifically speaking, there are a couple of fundamental differences between heavy metals and other metals in the table of the elements. Heavier metals tend to have more ions and typically, less toxic elements.
What makes mercury different than other metals?
Mercury is a metal but its unusual: at room temperature it is liquid
Which metals forms an amalgam with other metals?
Mercury is the most common metal that forms an amalgam with other metals, such as silver, gold, and tin. Amalgams are commonly used in dentistry and in some chemical reactions due to their unique properties.
Does mercury only stick to gold?
No, mercury can also stick to other metals such as silver, copper, and zinc. Mercury forms an amalgam with these metals, meaning it can chemically bond with them to create a new compound.
How is mercury different from all of the other metals in the periodic table?
It is the only metal element that is in the liquid state at room temperature. Bromine is also in liquid state at room temperature but it is not a metal. Gallium is extremely close to being liquid at room temperature and is a metal.
Which metal forms an amalgam which other metals?
Mercury forms amalgams with other metals.

How is mercury different from all of the other metals in the periodic tables?
Mercury is a liquid at standard temperature and pressure (STP), while the other metals are solids. There are many reasons for this, one of which is that mercury holds its six valence electrons more strongly than do most of the other metals. In most metals, the electrons travel relatively freely, forming a sea of mobile valence electrons, but the electrons are more centralized in mercury atoms. As a result, the intermolecular forces (the forces holding them together) between mercury atoms are weaker than those between other metals, so it has a lower melting point, and is a liquid at STP.
What is the name of metal forms amalgam with other metals?
The name of the metal that forms an amalgam with other metals is mercury. Mercury can form alloys, known as amalgams, with many metals such as gold, silver, and tin.
How is mercury different from all of the other metals in the perioic table?
All metals are solid. Mercury is liquid in state.
What makes mercury different than other metals?
Mercury is a metal but its unusual: at room temperature it is liquid
What does mercury bond with to form goldironzinc and other metals?
Nothing. Gold, iron, zinc, and other metals do not contain mercury, they are elements made of nothing but themselves.
How does mercury react with other elements?
Mercury forms amalgams with most metals. It can react with non-metals to form to types of compounds: mercurous and mercuric compounds.
Which metals forms an amalgam with other metals?
Mercury is the most common metal that forms an amalgam with other metals, such as silver, gold, and tin. Amalgams are commonly used in dentistry and in some chemical reactions due to their unique properties.
Are solids a metal?
All the solids are not metals they may be non metals and other compounds but except Mercury all the metals are solids.
Name the other metals which you use in a thermometer other than mercury?
iron thrass
Does mercury only stick to gold?
No, mercury can also stick to other metals such as silver, copper, and zinc. Mercury forms an amalgam with these metals, meaning it can chemically bond with them to create a new compound.
