It is the only metal element that is in the liquid state at room temperature. Bromine is also in liquid state at room temperature but it is not a metal. Gallium is extremely close to being liquid at room temperature and is a metal.

∙ 15y agoMercury is a liquid at standard temperature and pressure (STP), while the other metals are solids. There are many reasons for this, one of which is that mercury holds its six valence electrons more strongly than do most of the other metals. In most metals, the electrons travel relatively freely, forming a sea of mobile valence electrons, but the electrons are more centralized in mercury atoms. As a result, the intermolecular forces (the forces holding them together) between mercury atoms are weaker than those between other metals, so it has a lower melting point, and is a liquid at STP.

∙ 15y agoit's a liquid at room tempurature. try doing that with steel.

∙ 12y agoIt is different from all other metals because it is a liquid at room temperature.

What makes mercury different than other metals?
Mercury is a metal but its unusual: at room temperature it is liquid
Which metals forms an amalgam with other metals?
mercury
What about other precius metals accept gold?
there are several other precious metal other than gold as silver ,platinum,mercury,copperand osmium . Gold are in same periodic group of silver and copper
Where on the periodic table would you find metals and nonmetals?
The metalloids split the table these are a diagonal group of elements, B, Si, Ge, As, Sb and Te. To their right are the non metals to the left the metals. There are many more metals than any other type of element. See Wikipedia article "Periodic table (metals and non metals)"
What is the difference between mercury and other metals?
As compared to other metals, mercury is a poor conductor of heat but a fair conductor of electricity. Mercury has an exceptionally low melting temperature for a d-block metal.
How is mercury different from all of the other metals in the perioic table?
All metals are solid. Mercury is liquid in state.

Which metal forms an amalgam which other metals?
Mercury forms amalgams with other metals.
Which metals forms an amalgam with other metals?
mercury
How the halogen group different from other elements in the periodic table?
all non-metals and are found in the earth's crust
Does Mercury have any features?
The most significant feature of Mercury is that it is a liquid at rtp, which is different from all other metals which are solids at rtp. In addition, Mercury is very toxic.
What are theSections of the periodic table?
There are eight classifications of elements in the periodic table. They are: Non-metals, transition metals, rare earth metals, halogens, alkali metals, alkali earth metals, other metals and inert elements.
Why are copper silver and gold near each other on the periodic table?
That's because gold has 79 protons and mercury has 80 protons. The elements in the periodic table is arranged by the proton count.
What about other precius metals accept gold?
there are several other precious metal other than gold as silver ,platinum,mercury,copperand osmium . Gold are in same periodic group of silver and copper
Are more than three-fourths of the elements in the periodic table non-metals?
No it is the other way around. The majority of elements in the periodic table are metals.
What does mercury bond with to form goldironzinc and other metals?
Nothing. Gold, iron, zinc, and other metals do not contain mercury, they are elements made of nothing but themselves.
