Mercury is a metal. It is one of the few metals that are in liquid form at room temperature.
Thermometers typically use a metal such as mercury or alcohol to measure temperature. Mercury thermometers are commonly used in applications such as medical settings, while alcohol thermometers are used in environmental monitoring due to their lower environmental impact.
Mercury is a relatively unreactive metal. It is resistant to oxidation and corrosion, which is why it is often used in thermometers and barometers. However, it can react with strong acids and halogens to form compounds.

The only metal that is liquid at room temperature is Mercury (Hg).
Mercury is a heavy metal also known as QUICKSILVER it is special because it is in a form of liquid

All metals are heat conductors; mercury is not special.
The metal that was used in thermometers was mercury, however now alcohol is usually used.
Mercury is a liquid metal used in thermometers. However, it becomes a solid at -37.9 F and it can cause mercury poisoning if ingested or inhaled. Therefore, most theremometers use ethyl-alcohol or a plastic strip covered with liquid crystals (called a liquid crystal thermometer).
mercury is a metal. It is liquid at room temperature.
Mercury is used in thermometers because mercury is the only liquid metal in room temperature. Hence our body temperature is observed by melting the liquid metal mercury due to our body temperature.
