Why is mercury a liquid at room temperature and pressure?
Because mercury has an extremely low melting point. It is the only liquid metal at room temperature.
What phase of matter is Mercury?
Mercury's state of matter is a liquid. Mercury is not a good conductor of heat and cinnabar is the largest natural source for mercury.
Mercury element at room temperature?
mercury is a liquid at room temperatute At room temperature, mercury is a LIQUID.
Which element melts at the lower temperature-oxygen or mercury?
oxygen
Is palladium a solid a liquid or a gas when in room temperature?
At room temperature plutonium is a solid metal.
What element is a metal and a liquid?
At room temprature only mercury. Gallium melts at body temprature.
What melts in your houses?
Mercury! A highly dangerous metal. Also the only LIQUID metal at ROOM TEMPERATURE!
Which metal melts on the palm of the hand?
Francium melts at about 80oF. Cesium melts at about 83.4oF. Gallium melts at about 85.6oF. All of these are solid at room temperature but would melt in your hand. Rubidium melts at about 103.4oF, so that is just a little higher than body temperature. Mercury melts at 37.7oF, so it would certainly melt in your hand, but it would already be a liquid at room temperature.

Is liquid metal a chemical property?
The fact that a metal (mercury) is a liquid at room temperature is a characteristic property of the metal, mercury. The temperature at which a metal melts to become liquid would be a chemical property of the metal.
What metal is liquid at normal state?
Mercury (Hg), a toxic metal, melts at 234.32 K. (See Why is mercury a liquid at STP?) Four elements melt just a few degrees above room temperature. Francium (Fr), a radioactive and extremely reactive metal, melts around 300 K
Which metal melts at 29 degrees celsius?
The metal Cesium melts at 28.44 degrees Celsius, while gallium has a melting point of 29.77 degrees Celsius. No element melts at exactly 29 degrees Celsius.
What is a metal that can change to liquid room temperature?
While mercury is the only pure metal that is promoted in science classes at the metal that exists as a liquid at room temperature , gallium is close as it melts at 29.76° Celsius (85.57° Fahrenheit) or slightly below normal body temperature and well into the range found in many room isn the summer. However a gallium alloy made up of gallium, indium, and tin, and melts at -20° Celsius (-4° Fahrenheit). This is far below room temperature.
What are the Liquid Metals on the periodic table?
The only two elements that are liquid at standard conditions(32 degrees Fahrenheit, and 1 Atmosphere pressure) are both metals, they are bromine and Mercury. Gallium melts to a liquid at just above room temperature( it melts in your hand!) but it doesn't make the cutoff
Mercury element at room temperature?
mercury is a liquid at room temperatute At room temperature, mercury is a LIQUID.
Are all metals solid at room temperature?
No. Room temperature is 20C, and Mercury is liquid at this. Gallium melts slightly higher, and will liquify in someone's hand or in hotter climates.Caesium has a melting point of 29C. So this metal will also be liquid in a hot day!Only one, mercury, at standard temperature and pressure. Gallium would be liquid in a hot room.
