Chemical properties of the element mercury?

Answer 1

• heaviest known elemental liquid
• boiling point 356.73C
• melting point -38.83C
• critical temp 1477C
• superconducting temp -269.2C
• density 13.534g/cm3
• its inert outer shell causes its vapour to behave like a nobel gas
• electronegativity 2.00

Answer 2

Mercury (scientific symbol Hg) is one of only 6 elements that exists as a liquid at room temperature (and at standard atmospheric pressure). It is a silvery liquid with a high vapor pressure, meaning it evaporates quickly. Mercury liquid beads together, much like water. It is highly toxic, can be inhaled or absorbs easily through skin, and is dangerous as it accumulates in tissues and is hard for the body to remove.

Answer 3

Mercury is the only metal that is a liquid at room temp, and also can be frozen into a solid, and transformed into a gas. it's felxibility in terms of what matter it can become. hope this helps :)

Answer 4

Mercury is a liquid metal at room temperature, highly reactive with other elements to form compounds like mercuric oxide and mercuric chloride. It has a high surface tension and forms easily amalgams with other metals. Mercury is toxic to humans and animals, causing neurological and kidney damage when ingested in high amounts.

Answer 5

Answer 6

it is very toxic

Answer 7

It is liquid at room temperature.
