What is the liquid metal in thermometer?

Why does the thermometer go down when the temp gets cold?
A thermometer measures temperature based on the expansion or contraction of the liquid or metal inside it. When it gets cold, the molecules inside the thermometer contract, causing the liquid or metal to shrink, which in turn results in the reading on the thermometer going down.
What are the Sources of errors in liquid metal thermometer?
Sources of errors in liquid metal thermometer include inaccurate calibration, improper immersion depth of the sensor in the liquid metal, variations in the composition of the liquid metal affecting its thermal properties, and external factors such as ambient temperature fluctuations or vibrations affecting the reading.
What liquid is found in a clinical thermometer?
The liquid in a clinical thermometer is often mercury. But there are thermometers that use a coloured alcohol.
Why does the liquid expand in a thermometer when it gets hotter?
The liquid in a thermometer expands when it gets hotter because heat causes the molecules in the liquid to move faster and spread out, leading to an increase in volume. This expansion is what causes the liquid to rise up the tube of the thermometer, indicating a higher temperature.
How does a thermometer work?
A thermometer works by measuring the temperature of an object or environment using a liquid or metal that expands or contracts with changes in temperature. This causes the level of the liquid or the length of the metal to change, which is then converted into a temperature reading on a scale.
What liquid metal is most commonly used in thermometer?
The liquid metal in many thermometer is mercury (Hg).
Is a mercury in a thermometer shiny?
No, the mercury inside a thermometer is a silvery-white liquid metal at room temperature, so it has a shiny appearance.
What type of metal is liquid at room temperature?
Mercury in thermometers: they expand and shrink but are still liquids inside the thermometer. It is still considered a metal and it is liquid at room temp.
