Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. The others are all solid. It is also a very dense metal (twice as dense as iron) and it can be used to dissolve gold. Many Mercury compounds are highly toxic, especially methyl mercury. Mercury sulfide is the least water-soluble compound known to science.
