Barometers can use any liquid. A dense liquid that makes for a short column at room temperature, is mercury.
The element Mercury is considered to be non polar. It is not a compound but a molten metal. Mercury atoms are bonded to each other with metallic bonds.
No one knows exactly when mercury was discovered, but many ancient civilizations were familiar with this element. It's ore is a dark red and known a cinnabar. When heated in a charcoal fire droplets of the metal appear on it's surface.
At room temperature, mercury is liquid, iron is solid.
Yes, depending on its temperature and the pressure on it. It's also easy to make mercury gas.
Mercury is a chemical element; the density is 13,534 g/cm3.
1. The chemical element has a density of 15,534 g/cm3 at 20 0C. 2. The planet Mercury has a density of 5,427 g/cm3.
13.6 g.cm-3 at 20°C
Mercury is a dense element with a density of 13.55 grams per cubic centimeter at room temperature. It is often used as a reference point for measuring density, with water having a density of 1 g/cm^3.
The planet named Mercury has a mass of 3.3022 × 10²³ kg and density of 5.427 g/cm³ (see related link). The element called mercury has a density of 13.534 g/cm³. The mass would only have meaning for a specific amount of mercury.
The density of mercury is lower than that of osmium and higher than that of gold. Osmium is the densest naturally occurring element, followed by iridium, while gold has a lower density compared to mercury and other heavy metals.
mercury is an element itself!!
Any element denser than 1bout 13.5 g/cm^3 will sink in both water and mercury. Such elements include gold, platinum, tungsten, osmium, and uranium among others.
Mercury is a liquid element. Mercury is a d block metal element.
No, the planet Mercury is just called Mercury. The element Mercury (Hg) is a chemical element and has nothing to do with the naming of the planet Mercury.
Mercury is a transitional metal. It is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature.
