What are 3 main different types of thermometers?
The three main types of thermometers are liquid-in-glass thermometers, digital thermometers, and infrared thermometers. Liquid-in-glass thermometers use a liquid like mercury or alcohol to measure temperature, digital thermometers provide a numeric temperature reading, and infrared thermometers measure temperature from a distance using infrared technology.
What liquid mental is used for thermometers?

What is liquid metal was used in thermometersr?
Mercury is a liquid metal used in thermometers. However, it becomes a solid at -37.9 F and it can cause mercury poisoning if ingested or inhaled. Therefore, most theremometers use ethyl-alcohol or a plastic strip covered with liquid crystals (called a liquid crystal thermometer).

How do thermometers with in liquid in glass measure temperature?
Such thermometers are based on the fact that the liquid expands when the temperature increases. That's what the thermometers measure.
What is the name of the liquid in which thermometer is dipped?
