Description

Mercury*-commonly known as quicksilver?It is mainly used in scientific instruments?Electrical equipment, control equipment, thermometer, barometer.

Physical properties
Mercury for the easy flow of the metal of the silver-white, and the melting point of **8.*7 ° C, the boiling point of **6.*8 ° C, the density of *3.***9 g / cm ³; constant volume expansion coefficient, thermal expansion, have a good electrical conductivity.


Chemical properties
The metal activity lower than that of zinc and cadmium, from the acid solution and can not be replaced with a hydrogen.
Mercury heated to boiling until a slow reaction with oxygen.
