You would have to ask around about what people think, but Mercury (Hg, atomic #80) is a transition metal, and one of only two elements which are liquids at room temperature and standard pressure. It is toxic to humans by contact with skin, which absorbs it quickly. Its most common everyday use is in thermometers.
