it depends on what element it is because Mercury combines easily with many other elements but not all of them.
Mercury reacts/combines with atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and solid sulfur flakes. Mercury does not react with most dilute acids.
no because it is in the later groups
Murcury (Hg) and Oxygen (O).
Its an element
At time mercury was used to extract metallic gold from gold ore. The ore was crushed to powder, and washed over a copper sheet covered in mercury. The gold would combine with the mercury, and be recovered by distilling the mercury. This was very dangerous due to the poisonous nature of mercury- and it only captured about 15% of the gold. It is no longer used in gold mining.
The sulfide ion is S2- while the somewhat unusual mercury I ion is Hg22+ the 2+ and 2- ions will combine in a 1:1 ratio ro form an electrically neutral compound.
Type your answer here... A compound... duh! If it includes the names of more than one element, (in this case oxide=oxygen and mercury) and it is (obviously) safely enough combine for it to be named, it is a compound. Besides, if "element" means ONE ELEMENT, and the name includes mercury and oxygen, that means that there are TWO ELEMENTS, HELLO!
It can combine with stuff.
Cadmium, Zinc, Mercury
salt
Murcury (Hg) and Oxygen (O).
Mercury is an element (Hg) . A lot of mercury atoms combine together to form it's compound which exists as liquid state. It surely is'nt a mixture.
Mercury do not occur in combine state (i.e. it occur in free state) and in liquid form. It is the only metal who occur in liquid form.
By definition, any time two or more different elements combine, that is a compound. So if mercury and sulfur combine, the result is a compound.

i think when you combine this two elements it will produce a new color.. the color changed.. it turned to dark green

Mercury and alcohol are not the thermometers but the liquids found in the thermometer they have different properties that make them uniqe for example alcohol is safe while mercury is poisonous,alcohol does not expand uniformly but has great expansion while mercury expands uniformly and has low expansion,alcohol is cheap while mercury is expensive,alcohol wets the glass while mercury does not.so alcohol can not combine to form a thermometer simply because they are the liquids found in it and not the thermometer itself.
