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.

How is mercury different from all of the other metals in the periodic tables?

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.
