How does the Solanum virus exist?

it does exist. no one knows exactly how it came about except the scientists studying it. there is a small amount of the virus contained in area 51. In 1842 the city of found Hierakonpolis was discovered. Along with the standard Egyptian relics found writing and hieroglyphics decoded found evidence of Mankinds first encounter with the "undead". In 2004 another archeological team was sent in to unearth the tombs and relics, after the hieroglyphics were decoded the story of why some of the bodies they found either had their skulls crushed or their heads cut off. And found entombed were bodies some without their heads and remains inside of stone tombs.... with claw marks on the inside... some of the same bodies without heads. With in the egyptian record were the symptoms of the vrus which is very similar to the average flu. But on the inside afer less than 20 hours you will suffer convulsions and hallucinations. This is the virus eating the frontal lobe of your brain. After enough hours have passed the virus then spread to other parts of your brain like the pain sensory. The virus also attacks the circulatory system and cause necrotic like legions and bruises on your body. The infected loose all moral thought and lose what the egyptians called the spririt or soul. The only part of the brain not afected by the virus was the pimordial core of the brain.... which is where the most base and primal insincts reside. After long enough time what is left of the brain after the virs attacks and devours the brain shuts down all un-necessay functions and retains just enough electircal kick to keep the infected mobile to a certain degree. The account of the Egyptians tell of whole families including women and children, old and young who were put down when the local lord banded what was left of the non-infected within the city walls and then swept the area clear of the infected.

Is mercury a metal or metalloid?

Mercury is metal and one out of the rest of the elements, it is a liquid at room temperature.Mercury (Hydrargyrum)Atomic Number: 80Symbol: HgAtomic Weight: 200.59Discovery: Known to the ancient Hindus and Chinese. Mercury has been found in Egyptian tombs dating to 1500 B.C.Electron Configuration: [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2Word Origin: from the Planet Mercury; Hg is the symbol for Hydrargyrum, which means liquid silverProperties: Mercury has a melting point of -38.842°C, boiling point of 356.58°C, specific gravity of 13.546 (20°C), and a valence of 1 or 2. Mercury is one of the few elements that is liquid at ordinary room temperatures. Mercury is a heavy, silvery-white metal. It is a relatively poor conductor of heat, but a fair conductor of electricity. Mercury readily forms alloys with other metals, called amalgams. An electrical discharge will cause mercury to combine with the noble gases argon, krypton, neon, and xenon. Mercury and its compounds are highly poisonous. Mercury is readily absorbed across unbroken skin or though the respiratory or gatroinstentinal tract. It acts as a cumulative poison. Mercury is very volatile in air. When room temperature air (20°C) is saturated with mercury vapor, the concentration greatly exceeds the toxic limit. The concentration, and thus the danger, increases at higher temperatures.Uses: Mercury is amalgamated with gold to facilitate the recovery of gold from its ores. Mercury is used to make thermometers, diffusion pumps, barometers, mercury vapor lamps, mercury switches, pesticides, batteries, dental preparations, antifouling paints, pigments, and catalysts. Many of the salts and organic mercury compounds are important.Sources: Mercury rarely occurs free in nature. It's chief ore is cinnabar, HgS. Mercury is obtained from cinnabar by heating the cinnabar in air and condensing the vapor.Element Classification: Transition MetalDensity (g/cc): 13.546 (@ +20°C)Melting Point (K): 234.28Boiling Point (K): 629.73Appearance: heavy, silvery-white metal that is liquid at room temperatureAtomic Radius (pm): 157Atomic Volume (cc/mol): 14.8Covalent Radius (pm): 149Ionic Radius: 110 (+2e) 127 (+1e)Specific Heat (@20°C J/g mol): 0.138Fusion Heat (kJ/mol): 2.295Evaporation Heat (kJ/mol): 58.5Debye Temperature (K): 100.00Pauling Negativity Number: 2.00First Ionizing Energy (kJ/mol): 1006.0Oxidation States: 2, 1Lattice Structure: RhombohedralLattice Constant (Å): 2.990References: Los Alamos National Laboratory (2001), Crescent Chemical Company (2001), Lange's Handbook of Chemistry (1952), CRC Handbook of Chemistry & Physics (18th Ed.)
