What is liquid metal was used in thermometersr?
Mercury is a liquid metal used in thermometers. However, it becomes a solid at -37.9 F and it can cause mercury poisoning if ingested or inhaled. Therefore, most theremometers use ethyl-alcohol or a plastic strip covered with liquid crystals (called a liquid crystal thermometer).
What liquid metal is used in thermometers?
Mercury (Hg) because it is the only metal which is a liquid at room temperature and conducts heat well. It also has a large range (-39 to 357 oC).However, mercury is rarely used in thermometers today, due to its toxicity. If you come across a liquid metal thermometer, it is most probably one containing an alloy of indium, gallium and tin.
What makes a thermometer?

Why does liquid inside a thermometer rise as the temperature s increase?
Most materials expand with the temperature increases. In this case, the liquid in the thermometer expands faster than the glass that holds it.
What type of Thermometer is most likely to contain alcohol?
Mercury (not the planet, the metal.)
