When Mercury forms into tiny balls, it is exhibiting its unique physical property of cohesion, where the liquid metal's molecules are attracted to each other more than to the surrounding surface. This phenomenon is due to mercury's high surface tension, which causes it to minimize its surface area and create spherical droplets. This behavior is often observed when mercury is spilled or handled, as it tends to coalesce into small beads rather than spreading out.
