That's actually an awkward question... Mercury can be a solid. in fact all elements can be solid, liquid, or a gas... it all depends on the temperature of the element and what their melting/freezing point is... like water happens to be a liquid at room temperature but a solid when it's very cool (ice)... mercury's melting point happens to be low enough that room temp. is hot enough to melt it... thus explains why we often see mercury as a liquid
It is a property of that element.
Mercury is silver in color, another property of that element. Gold, an element, is solid at room temperature. It has different properties, hence, we identify it as a separate, different element.
Because, every other METAL element is solid at room temperature. Mercury is also very dense, so that an iron cannonball or an ingot of gold would float in it.
Mercury is the only metal that is a liquid at room temperature, because it is poor at sharing electrons.
The intense solar wind of the young sun stripped most of the lighter, gas-forming materials out of the system, leaving mostly rock and metal to form the inner planets.
Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. It is one of the two elements that are liquid at room temperature. The other one, bromine, is not considered a metal.
Although mercury is a liquid metal at room temperature it does have a freezing point as with any other liquid which is -38.83°C, although this can vary with different air pressures as with other liquids.
Hg is the chemical symbol for the metal mercury. Mercury is a liquid when kept at a normal "room temperature.
The only common metal that is a liquid at room temperature is Mercury. Other metals are Caesium & Francium. i think!!
The only non-metal element that is a liquid at room temperature I know of is Bromine of group 7.
Bromine (Br) is a liquid at room temperature and is a non-metal. The only liquid element that is not a metal is Bromine (Br). There is one other element that occurs in liquid form and that is Mercury (Hg).
Mercury is the only liquid metal. Bromine comes under group 7 in the table and is therefore a Halogen. Bare in mind that this is only true at standard states.
Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. It is one of the two elements that are liquid at room temperature. The other one, bromine, is not considered a metal.
Mercury the liquid metal is also known as quicksilver
There are two elements that are liquid at the temperature technically designated 'room temperature' or 298 K (25° C) and a total of six elements that can be liquids at actual room temperatures and pressures. Liquid at 25°C * Bromine * Mercury Become Liquid 25°C-40°C * Francium * Cesium * Gallium * Rubidium
its formed as a liquid
Mercury is a metal but its unusual: at room temperature it is liquid
It happens to be a liquid metal at normal room temperatures.
Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. Mercury (Mg) with atomic number 80. It is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. Another element that is liquid is bromine but it is a non-metal.
Yes. If you are talking about the thing in thermometers, yes, they are liquid.(metal- liquid) Mercury is one of the few metals that is a liquid at room temperature. Other metals, as you know, are solid at room temperature.
The metallic element Mercury (symbol Hg) is a liquid at standard temperature and pressure, The only other element which is also a liquid under these conditions is the halogen Bromine (symbol Br).
Anything can be poisonous and/or a liquid. However, the most common such metal is mercury.
