How is Mercury Heated?


Open in App
Solution

  • Mercury is the only metal that exists in liquid state at room temperature.
  • Conduction method is used to heat mercury.
  • Because of the full-filled orbitals and strong nuclear force offered by the nucleus to the electrons, mercury is unable to form metallic bonds with other mercury atoms.
  • This is the reason for mercury to exist in liquid state.
