What is the only liquid metal at room temperature?
Correct answer: Mercury
Ruby
people who made hats used Mercury in the process and it eventually makes people go mad so that's why people say mad as a hatter

Ruby, close - believe it or not, v large amounts of urine were used to fix the felt in hat-making, and it was mercury in the urine (prescribed as a 'drug' to treat venereal diseases) that caused madness in three workers who were around, and even working with, the large vats of pee!

I had a babysitter once that let my baby girl suck on the broken end of a GLASS thermometer. I could have killed her. (the sitter)

I have been looking for a game that inform and educate for long but only to end up with games from which you waste lots of time without benefit. l love this game die. More grease to the elbow of the owner. Appreciate it a lot

the graves of some of the sailors from the Franklin expedition up north were found some years ago and old tin cans that they ate out of had mercury. mercury poisoning is what is believed killed the men. it would have been painful

mercury is the only metal that is a liquid at standard temperature and pressure.... the modern element symbol for Mercury is Hg* which is the symbol for another name for Mercury "hydrargyrum"

if u could drink Mercury without getting poisoned and eventually dieing, the mercury will pass thru your digestive system and urinary tract pretty much as fast as it went in you

The ancient Greeks also knew of the elemental mercury, but they didn't call it mercury, they called it hydro-argyros, which means liquid silver. The Romans turned that into Hydragyrum, from which we get Mercury's symbol Hg. The element became known as Mercury when it acquired great importance to the early chemist/philosophers called alchemists. The alchemists equated the fast-moving liquid flow of the element with the fast movement across the sky of the planet. So, the element gets its name from the planet, which gets its name from ancient mytholog

Miss the old mercury thermometers. They may have been fragile an toxic, but they were much faster and more accurate than the new replacement thermometers.

Jenn Natalia , Gallium is typically only liquid above 29C, though the mostly Gallium alloy Galinstan melts at -19C!
