Its melting/freezing point is -39°C. It turns into gas at 356°C.
This question is about the element not the planet. The answer, which I just found, is 1477 degrees Celsius.
Mercury is a metal element. It can be all 3 stats depending on the temperature. At room temperature it is a liquid.
Steam. Notice that it condences (becomes a liquid) when it touches a window or something with a cold surface. However... it is still steam (gas) when it is in the air
Mercury oxide can be decomposed, and in general, any chemical will decompose at a sufficiently high temperature.
Mercury oxide can be separated by heating it to a high temperature, which leads to the decomposition of the compound into its elements: mercury and oxygen. The mercury vaporizes and can be collected, while the oxygen is released as a gas.
Mercury vapor is the element mercury in the gas phase. It must be a pretty high temperature or low pressure because mercury doesn't turn into a gas very easily!

Mercury is not an example of a gas at room temperature. Mercury is a liquid at room temperature.
At room temperature mercury is a liquid.
Liquid: mercury. Gas: neon.
No, mercury is a metal that is liquid at room temperature. It is considered toxic to humans when ingested, inhaled, or exposed to skin over prolonged periods. Mercury vapor is also toxic when inhaled.
The element mercury is a metal. The planet Mercury is rocky.
Mercury and bromine are liquids at room temperature.
At room temperature: Oxygen & Nitrogen are gases, Carbon is solid, & Mercury is a liquid.
Liquid
No, mercury does not become solid in hot temperature and liquid in coolest temperature. But mercury becomes gas or liquid in hot temperature and becomes solid in coolest temperature. Mercury becomes solid after freezing point of -38.72 degrees Celsius. Solid Mercury can become superconductor in reaching of its critical temperature 4.2 K. Mercury is liquid under the room temperature (25 degrees Celsius). Mercury becomes gas after boiling point of 357 degrees Celsius.
Oxygen and nitrogen are gases at room temperature, while carbon and mercury are not.
