Yes, thermometers can be considered fragile instruments, particularly traditional glass thermometers containing Mercury or alcohol. The glass can break easily if dropped or subjected to sudden temperature changes. However, digital thermometers, while generally more durable, can also be sensitive to moisture and impact. Overall, care should be taken with all types of thermometers to ensure their accuracy and longevity.

Why not mercury thermometer is used to measure temperature of hot milk?
It could be used to do this - it is capable of doing it. However, Mercury is poisonous and a mercury thermometer is made out of fragile glass. Thus the danger that the thermometer would break releasing mercury into the milk (which would be for a person to drink) means that a mercury thermomiter is not the temperature sensor to use in this instance.

What is the durability of an alcohol thermometer?
Alcohol thermometers are relatively fragile and can break if dropped or mishandled. It is important to handle them with care to ensure longer durability.
What is the smallest unit on the Fahrenheit thermometer?
0.1 is typical, however if you have a Beckmann thermometer then you can read 0.01 0C. These thermometers are large expensive and fragile so not commonly available even in laboratories.

Temperature can be measured by what?
Temperature is measured by a liquid in glass thermometer in most cases. Other instruments such as thermocouples, resistance or digital thermometers are used for more extreme conditions.
