Nothing. The only thing that can harm you is its vapor, so if you broke a thermometer, just clear the room and make sure it gets aired out before you go in to pick it up. If you just wanted to touch it yourself, go ahead. It only harms you if you handle it in mass quantitis.

Is silver a liquid?

All elements have three states of matter. Solid, liquid and gas. Silver (Ag), is generally a solid at room temperature, though at extreme temperatures does change into a liquid. Enough heat and that liquid could change into a gas. Silver melts - turns to a liquid - at 961.93 degrees Centigrade, and boils (starts to turn to vapour) at 2,212.0 degrees Centigrade. If you have seen a slivery liquid metal, that will be Mercury. As it happens, another name for Mercury is Quicksilver. Mercury is very poisonous, do not touch it or inhale the invisible vapours that it gives off.
