How do the valence electron of mercury make it bonding weaks?

Answer 1

Mercury easily shares its valence electrons

Answer 2

Mercury has weak bonding tendencies due to its unique electron configuration, which includes a filled inner electron shell that shields the outermost electrons from effective interactions with other atoms. This makes it challenging for mercury to form strong bonds with other elements.

Answer 3

Mercury hangs on to its valence 6s electrons very tightly and does not share them easily.

Answer 4

mercury holds on to its valence 6s electrons very tightly and does not share them easily.
