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).


What kind of apparatus did Boyle use to determine that relationship?

Boyle demonstrated this relationship using a U-shaped tube sealed at one end. The tube had mercury added to it so that a volume of gas was trapped at the sealed end of the tube; the gas thus was compressed by atmospheric pressure and the pressure from the column of mercury. Boyle poured mercury into the open end of the U-tube and measured the change in volume of the trapped gas as the applied pressure increased.


How could a n type semiconductor be produced from pure germanium?

To produce an n-type semiconductor, pure germanium can be doped with an appropriate impurity such as phosphorus or arsenic. These impurities introduce extra electrons into the germanium crystal structure, resulting in an excess of negative charge carriers (electrons) and hence an n-type semiconductor material.
