Mercury is a liquid metal used in thermometers. However, it becomes a solid at
-37.9 F and it can cause mercury poisoning if ingested or inhaled. Therefore, most theremometers use ethyl-alcohol or a plastic strip covered with liquid crystals (called a liquid crystal thermometer).
What else can I help you with?
What liquid metal is most commonly used in thermometer?
The liquid metal in many thermometer is mercury (Hg).
What liquid metal is used in thermometers?
Mercury (Hg) because it is the only metal which is a liquid at room temperature and conducts heat well. It also has a large range (-39 to 357 oC).However, mercury is rarely used in thermometers today, due to its toxicity. If you come across a liquid metal thermometer, it is most probably one containing an alloy of indium, gallium and tin.
