Mercury metal (from latin hydrargyrum = liquid silver) is shiny and silvery and the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. Mercury metal is known since ancient times, when it was believed to be something magical and also a cure for everything. More recently Mercury metal was and still is used in thermometers and barometers and in amalgams as filling for our teeth. Elemental mercury and many of its compounds are very toxic, so it should be avoided and not be used, if there are alternatives. Mercury metal can be sold only in small quantities and perfectly sealed for laboratory or display use.

Mercury is also called mercury. Mercury is a chemical element. The element symbol is Hg at the 80th position in the periodic table of the elements. It is located in the sixth period and group IIB in the periodic table of chemical elements. It is the only metal that exists as a liquid and flows easily under normal temperature and pressure. , Mercury is a silvery white shiny heavy liquid with stable chemical properties, insoluble in acids and alkalis. Mercury can evaporate at room temperature. Mercury vapor and mercury compounds are highly toxic (chronic). Mercury has strong cohesion and is stable in the air. At room temperature, mercury vapor evaporates with a specific gravity of 6.9, which is highly toxic. Mercury has a long history of use and has a wide range of uses. In medieval alchemy, it was called the three sacred elements of alchemy together with sulfur and salt.
Mercury is a silvery-white shiny heavy liquid that evaporates at room temperature. Metallic mercury is reductive and has two oxidation states of +2 and +1. Mercury is an inert metal that combines slowly with oxygen, but reacts with sulfur when mixed and ground to produce non-toxic mercury sulfide (HgS), which can be used to treat spilled mercury. Mercury is not soluble in reducing acids or bases, but it is soluble in oxidizing acids such as nitric acid and hot concentrated sulfuric acid. Mercury is a strong neurotoxic element, its elemental and a variety of compounds have different degrees of toxicity, can cause chronic poisoning.
