Because silver is a solid at the temperatures that are most useful to humans, which makes it more difficult to use it as an indicator of temperature.
Mercury. It isn't used much these days in thermometers these days as it is very toxic.
Mercury is traditionally used in thermometers to measure temperature due to its high thermal expansion and conductivity properties. However, due to its toxic nature, many countries have shifted to safer alternatives such as alcohol or digital thermometers.
as it cant be used to measure very low temperatures as it has a high freezing point(-38 degree celsius).
The red stuff in most thermometers is alcohol. The silver stuff is Mercury.
mercury also known as quick silver or liquid silver
Mercury is used in thermometers.
Mercury is commonly used in thermometers due to its unique properties, such as its ability to expand uniformly with temperature changes. However, due to its toxicity, digital thermometers with safer alternatives like alcohol or gallium are now more widely used.
A thermometer is used to measure air temperature. Several types of thermometers can be used, such as liquid-in-glass thermometers, digital thermometers, and infrared thermometers.
A thermometer is used to measure temperature. There are various types of thermometers such as digital thermometers, mercury thermometers, infrared thermometers, and thermocouples.
A thermometer is used to measure the temperature of a body. There are various types of thermometers, such as digital thermometers, infrared thermometers, and mercury thermometers.
In normal and some medical thermometers Mercury is used. That is why you may want to consider using electric thermometers which are more commonly used. They use no mercury.
Most thermometers used to contain mercury until it was found to be toxic.
