Mercury is the name for the only metal that is in a liquid state at room temperature. Frequently used in thermometers.
i think it might be ----------sodium its Mercury. i did this in science.
Gold would definatly sink in mercury............ mercury is much much denser then gold so therefor the gold will float. The amount of upthrrust will be the same as the amount of weight causing the gold to float. My science teacher told me and so did my science book and so did almost all the sites i looked up. ;) ======================== I don't have enough of either one to be able to check it out, and I don't have a science book or a science teacher to consult. But the way I understand it, here's how you figure out the answer: -- The density of Mercury is 13.53 gm/cm3 -- The density of gold is 19.32 gm/cm3 -- So, unless you carefully shape the gold into a little tiny canoe, bass-boat, or cruise ship, that can displace a lot more volume than simply the volume of the nugget, it will sink in the mercury. The reason is: Because gold is more dense than mercury. It doesn't have to be 'much much denser'. It only has to be more dense.
This is where you do your research and actually learn some facts about Mercury. Make a list of 25-50 facts about Mercury and pick one fact to be your title, like "The Hottest Planet."
No, it is not possible to turn mercury into gold through any chemical or physical process. This idea is based on alchemy which has been debunked by modern science.
My science teacher said answer.com is a horribble questioning website.
Hg
Liquid Metal Embrittlement. Such as when the ductile properties of a metal or alloy change when subject to the presence of a liquid metal such as mercury.
yes mercury does have volcanoes. x] vee&holliee answers in science ;D _xproductionz

Frequently thermometers filled with an alcohol; but also thermometers with mercury, with thermoresistance, thermocouples, etc.
What does the code P0190 mean on your 200 Mercury Mistique?
The mean concentration of mercury in the litosphere is 0,05 ppm.
Mercury is a rocky planet, unless you mean the element mercury which is a metal.
When mercury is found in an elemental form, it means that it exists in its pure, uncombined state as a single atom or a molecule of mercury. Elemental mercury is a liquid at room temperature and is known for its unique properties, such as being a good conductor of electricity.
If you mean Freddy Mercury, then yes.
