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.
Mercury is a metal but its unusual: at room temperature it is liquid
Mercury is considered a weak metal on the periodic table. It is a liquid metal at room temperature and has a low tensile strength compared to other metals.
Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature, whereas other metals are typically solid. Additionally, mercury is highly toxic to humans and the environment, making it more dangerous to handle compared to other metals. Mercury also has a unique property of forming amalgams with other metals.
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)"
Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. They are found on the left side of the periodic table. Non-metals, on the other hand, are usually dull, brittle, and poor conductors. They are located on the right side of the periodic table.
All metals are solid. Mercury is liquid in state.
Mercury 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.

Mercury forms amalgams with other metals.
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.
all non-metals and are found in the earth's crust
Mercury is considered a weak metal on the periodic table. It is a liquid metal at room temperature and has a low tensile strength compared to other metals.
The name of the metal that forms an amalgam with other metals is mercury. Mercury can form alloys, known as amalgams, with many metals such as gold, silver, and tin.

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.
That's because gold has 79 protons and mercury has 80 protons. The elements in the periodic table is arranged by the proton count.
Nothing. Gold, iron, zinc, and other metals do not contain mercury, they are elements made of nothing but themselves.
