Liquid mercury can conduct electricity, it's what makes mercury thermostats work. As for solid mercury, it conducts electricity in solid phase as all metals do.
Mercury become a solid at -38,829 oC.
Solid, iron core
it will be hard
Mercury is made of rock with a solid inner core.
Solid iron will float in liquid mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
The sample of solid will float in water in the table of densities, where the density of the solid is less than the density of water. This can be determined by comparing the densities of the solid and water.
Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
No, the density of water ice (0.92) is far below that of mercury (13.6) and so the ice will float on liquid mercury. Even iron density 7.85) and copper (8.73) and lead (11.3) will float on mercury but gold (density 19.6) sinks!
No, lead is a dense material and will sink in water. The density of lead is greater than the density of water, so it will not float.
there will be earthquake there will be earthquake
The clay boat (like a steel ship) displaces its own weight in the water. So, as long as the sides of the clay boat (or steel ship) is above the water level, it will float. A solid piece of clay will (like a stone) sink immediately.
Mercury is not a solid so it is nothing as a solid.

The density and chemical composition of both the large sample and a smaller piece of solid calcium sulfate are the same.
