Some of the notable craters on Mercury include names like Shakespeare, Beethoven, Debussy, and Caloris. Caloris Basin is one of the largest and most well-known craters on Mercury.
No, mercury's craters are not volcanic. They are formed due to impacts from meteoroids or asteroids hitting the surface of the planet. Volcanic activity on Mercury has been minimal compared to other planetary bodies.
Not necessarily. A ray crater is in impact crater that has tapering lines of light-volored material extening outward. Ray craters can found on Mercury and other objects such as the moon, but most of these craters are not ray craters.
Each crater on Mercury was left behind by an asteroid or comet that collided with it. Many of the craters are nearly as old as the planet itself, as collisions were far more common when the solar system was young. Other craters may only be a few million years old.
In the earliest days of our solar system (which I like to call the "Demolition Derby epoch") earth probably had as many or more craters than Mercury did. But earth developed weather, which over the millennia, wore the craters away. Mercury never had weather, so it's craters remain untouched today.

The total number is not known.
Mercury is pitted with craters because Mercury has almost no atmosphere to protect itself.
