Because its melting point is under room temperature ( -38.83 ° C , -37.89 ° F).
No, gallium and cesium are also metals that are liquid at or near room temperature. Gallium melts at 29.76°C, while cesium melts at 28.5°C.
Mercury; gallium melt also in very hot summer days.
Because mercury has an extremely low melting point. It is the only liquid metal at room temperature.
Mercury's state of matter is a liquid. Mercury is not a good conductor of heat and cinnabar is the largest natural source for mercury.
Mercury has a lower melting point compared to oxygen. Mercury melts at -38.83°C, while oxygen melts at a much lower temperature of -218.79°C.
At room temprature only mercury. Gallium melts at body temprature.
The metal Cesium melts at 28.44 degrees Celsius, while gallium has a melting point of 29.77 degrees Celsius. No element melts at exactly 29 degrees Celsius.
Mercury! A highly dangerous metal. Also the only LIQUID metal at ROOM TEMPERATURE!
No, gallium and cesium are also metals that are liquid at or near room temperature. Gallium melts at 29.76°C, while cesium melts at 28.5°C.
Francium melts at about 80oF. Cesium melts at about 83.4oF. Gallium melts at about 85.6oF. All of these are solid at room temperature but would melt in your hand. Rubidium melts at about 103.4oF, so that is just a little higher than body temperature. Mercury melts at 37.7oF, so it would certainly melt in your hand, but it would already be a liquid at room temperature.

Mercury (Hg), a toxic metal, melts at 234.32 K. (See Why is mercury a liquid at STP?) Four elements melt just a few degrees above room temperature. Francium (Fr), a radioactive and extremely reactive metal, melts around 300 K
Mercury melts at approximately -38.9 degrees Celsius.
While mercury is the only pure metal that is promoted in science classes at the metal that exists as a liquid at room temperature , gallium is close as it melts at 29.76° Celsius (85.57° Fahrenheit) or slightly below normal body temperature and well into the range found in many room isn the summer. However a gallium alloy made up of gallium, indium, and tin, and melts at -20° Celsius (-4° Fahrenheit). This is far below room temperature.
