Mercury (Atomic number 80) is still used in some thermometers.
Most thermometers used to contain mercury until it was found to be toxic.

They do nothing to the weather. The liquid in them simply responds to the ambient temperature.
Mercury is commonly used in thermometers due to its high thermal conductivity and visibility in the narrow tube, allowing for accurate temperature readings. Alcohol thermometers, on the other hand, are safer and less toxic compared to mercury thermometers. The choice of liquid depends on the specific use and safety considerations.
The three main types of thermometers are liquid-in-glass thermometers, digital thermometers, and infrared thermometers. Liquid-in-glass thermometers use a liquid like mercury or alcohol to measure temperature, digital thermometers provide a numeric temperature reading, and infrared thermometers measure temperature from a distance using infrared technology.
Mercury is used in thermometers.
Mercury in thermometers is in a liquid state, since mercury is liquid at room temperature.
Mercury is the element commonly used in liquid-in-glass thermometers.
Such thermometers are based on the fact that the liquid expands when the temperature increases. That's what the thermometers measure.
Liquid in glass thermometers are fragile.For precise work, they need to be recalibrated frequently.
iodine and Mercury
Some thermometers use mercury, in these the liquid is silvery. Some thermometers use a red dyed alcohol solutioin.

I think that thermometers (liquid) were once filled with mercury. Xo, Smartiiz.
