I think you are meaning HEAT -- and Mercury is a metal regardless that it is liquid - and most metals conduct heat (or electricity) better than water.
Water absorbs heat a tremendous amount whereas metals conduct heat through themselves.
Add: Mercury is actually a poor conductor of heat, but not as poor as water.
What else can I help you with?
Why water is bad conductor of heat?
Water is bad conductor of heat due to its chemical composition. Water contains oxygen and hydrogen both of which are poor conductors of heat.
Is mercury brittle?
Mercury is a liquid at room temperature and is not considered brittle. It is a poor conductor of heat, but it can shatter if it is frozen at extremely low temperatures.
What heats faster water or copper?
Copper heats faster than water because copper is a better conductor of heat. This means that heat can move more quickly through copper compared to water, which is a poor conductor of heat. So, if you apply heat to both copper and water at the same time, the copper will heat up more rapidly.
Why would water in a metal mug cool down so quickly?
Metal is a good conductor of heat, so when a metal mug with warm water is exposed to a cooler environment, the metal quickly transfers heat away from the water. This rapid heat transfer causes the water to cool down quickly.
What are the difference between mercury and silver?
One is Mercury and one is sliver
Why mercury is used instead of bad conductor of heat?
Mercury is a poor conductor of heat.
Is mercury a best conductor of heat?
Yes, mercury is a good conductor of heat but it is not the best conductor. Metals like copper and silver are better conductors of heat than mercury.
Is mercury good conductor of heta?
No. Mercury is a poor conductor of heat.
Why mercury good heat conductor but not water?
Mercury is a good heat conductor due to its high thermal conductivity, which enables it to transfer heat quickly. In contrast, water has lower thermal conductivity, so it is not as effective at conducting heat. Additionally, the molecular structure of water allows for hydrogen bonding, which limits its ability to conduct heat efficiently compared to mercury.
Why is mercury a better conductor oh heat than water at room temperature?
huhuhu
Is the Mercury is the best conductor of heat?
It's not, there are materials that are better, like diamond.
Is mercury a conductor of heat?
yes
Is copper the better conductor of heat than mercury?
Yes, copper is a better conductor of heat compared to mercury. Copper has a higher thermal conductivity, which means it can transfer heat more efficiently than mercury. Mercury is a poor conductor of heat due to its lower thermal conductivity.
What is a good conductor of heat in liquid?
mercury
Mercury is the only metal that is conductor of heat?
All metals are heat conductors; mercury is not special.
How well does mercury conduct heat?
Mercury is a good conductor of heat. Unfortunately, heat will produce vapor which is toxic.
Is mercury a conductor a heat?
All metals are heat conductors; mercury is not special (8,3 W/m.K).
