When solid changes into liquid?
Solids changing to liquids are melting Liquids changing to solids are freezing Solids changing to gas are subliming Liquids changing to gas are boiling Gases changing to liquids are condensing.
Are all metals solid at room temperature?
No. Room temperature is 20C, and Mercury is liquid at this. Gallium melts slightly higher, and will liquify in someone's hand or in hotter climates.Caesium has a melting point of 29C. So this metal will also be liquid in a hot day!Only one, mercury, at standard temperature and pressure. Gallium would be liquid in a hot room.
What is Mercury's average temperature in Fahrenheit?
Mercury's average temperature in Fahrenheit is 800 degrees.
Why is Mercury liquid?
its melting point is room temperature. its boiling point is too high for it to be a gas at room temperature and its freezing point is too low for it to be a solid at room temperature. The underlying reasons for this strange behavour are quite complex. The valence electrons in any metal are those that participate in the metal bond. The 6s orbital in mercury sits above a filled 4f shell and is "contracted" to sit closer to the nucleus than you would expect. these electrons are not that effective at forming a metallic bond so the mercury metal lattice in the solid form is more readily broken up by thermal excitation i.e. mercury melts at a lower temperature.
Which is not a unit of temperature?
inches of mercury
At room temperature table salt is a solid and mercury is a liquid what conclusions can you draw about the melting points of these substances?
We can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (It's actually 801 deg C). The melting point of Mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg C).
Liquid at room temperature mercury or cobalt?
Mercury is liquid at room temperature, while cobalt is a solid metal. Mercury has a low melting point, allowing it to remain in a liquid state at room temperature, while cobalt's melting point is significantly higher, causing it to be a solid at room temperature.
Why is Mercury used in thermameter?
Mercury's melting point is close to the room temperature, so it is a good indicator of temperature around room temperature.
Why is that mercury is used in thermometer?
Mercury is used in thermometers because mercury is the only liquid metal in room temperature. Hence our body temperature is observed by melting the liquid metal mercury due to our body temperature.
How hot is Mercury the substance?
There is not given temperature. Mercury can be virtually any temperature just like all other substances.
Why is mercury a liquid at room temperature and pressure?
Because mercury has an extremely low melting point. It is the only liquid metal at room temperature.
-38.7 melting point metal?
I believe mercury has that melting point, as it is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature.
Is metal a liquid in room temperature?
No, metal is typically solid at room temperature. Some metals have melting points below room temperature, but they would still exist as solids at room temperature unless specifically cooled below their melting point.
How does liquid mercury become solid mercury?
melting point of mercury is -38.83 celsius, under the temperature, it could turn into solid
Liquid metal element that has a melting point below your body temperature?
Mercury
What is the state of matter of mercury at freezing temperature?
At mercury's own freezing temperature, the mercury can be either solid or liquid; that is the definition of "freezing temperature".
What are 5 liquids that do not have water?
-- pure alcohol at room temperature -- mercury at room temperature -- oxygen below its boiling temperature -- iron above its melting temperature -- nitrogen below its boiling temperature -- salt above its melting temperature -- gold above its melting temperature -- any other element or compound that is not H2O, above its melting temperature and below its boiling temperature
