usually a type of alcohol now
i like mercury because it is inside a thermometer
Mercury
When a thermometer cools, the temperature of the liquid mercury inside it decreases. As the temperature drops, the kinetic energy of the mercury atoms decreases, causing them to move closer together and occupy less volume. This contraction leads to the mercury descending in the narrow tube of the thermometer, reflecting the drop in temperature. Thus, the level of mercury falls as it cools.
No, the external bulb of a thermometer is typically made of glass to hold the mercury inside. Mercury is usually contained within the glass bulb to measure temperature accurately without exposing the user to the toxic substance.
The clear liquid inside a Galileo thermometer is typically a hydrocarbon-based liquid, such as ethanol or mineral oil. This liquid expands and contracts with temperature changes, causing the glass spheres with different densities to float or sink.
the liguid inside the thermometer is Mercury.
Mercury the liquid inside thermometer is mercury.. but it is called thermometric liquid.

Mercury rises in a thermometer when the temperature increases because mercury expands as it heats up. This expansion of the mercury column inside the thermometer is used to measure the temperature of the surrounding environment.
Mercury
When thermometer is kept inside the mouth
No, the mercury inside a thermometer is a silvery-white liquid metal at room temperature, so it has a shiny appearance.
If the question relates to the tendency of the mercury to stay clumped together rather than separate inside the thermometer, it's due to the high surface tension of that element. Mercury can separate inside the thermometer, but its unusual for it to do that for the stated reason.
either mercury or alcohol
A Mercury thermometer measures temperature by relying on the expansion and contraction of the liquid mercury inside the glass tube. As the temperature changes, the mercury expands or contracts, causing it to rise or fall in the tube, indicating the temperature.
The mercury in the thermometer's tube expands and contracts due to the surrounding temperature. As the mercury is inside a narrow tube, it can only expand upwards, and contract downwards.
If the liquid inside is mercury, contact or digestion of this can be dangerous.
