Yes, water (ice) has been found on Mercury. To read more on NASA's findings, check out the related link below.

The water on the planet Mercury exists as ice, at the bottom of craters near the poles. These places are in permanent shadow, so the Sun can't heat them.

There is no LIQUID WATER on Mercury: the lack of an atmosphere, the solar wind, and the vast surface temperature differences prevent the formation of oceans as on Earth.
The surface temperature of Mercury is too hot for water to exist in a liquid state. but there is water in its solide state near the poles. this is due to the fact that even though mercury is very close to the sun mercury still is pretty cold near the poles

Can mercury wet a substance?

Mercury is a metal unlike water which have hydrogen bonding. Mercury does not wet most substances, because of its high cohesion and low adhesion to the glass mercury will not wet glass. Cohesion, along with adhesion(attraction between unlike molecules), can help explain mercury phenomena. Mercury has a surface energy over 6 times greater than that of water so there is a much greater attractive force between the atoms of mercury than between the molecules of water, so mercury does not wet glass.


Which of the following elements is commonly found in the Earth's crust living matter oceans and atmosphere hydrogen mercury neon and argon?

Hydrogen is the element commonly found in the Earth's crust, living matter, oceans, and atmosphere. Mercury, neon, and argon are also found in various environments, but hydrogen is the most abundant element in these specific areas.


What is the difference between Neptune and Mercury?

Neptune is the eighth and farthest known planet from the Sun in our solar system, while Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. Neptune is a gas giant, primarily composed of hydrogen, helium, and methane, whereas Mercury is a rocky planet with a thin atmosphere. Neptune has a much longer orbital period, taking about 165 years to complete one orbit, while Mercury orbits the Sun much more quickly, completing an orbit in about 88 days.

Which will sink in mercury lead ice or hydrogen and why?

To answer this question you need to know the densities of the substances Mercury = 13.534 g/cm3 Lead = 11.34 g/cm3 ice = 0.9167 g/cm3 Hydrogen = (which is a gas) = 0.00008988 g/cm3 The rule is that anything that is of lesser density will float in anything that has a greater density. Thus, none of these will sink in mercury.
