A heavy, silvery d-block element, mercury is the only metallic element that is liquid at standard conditions for temperature and pressure; the only other element that is liquid under these conditions is bromine, though metals such as caesium, gallium, and rubidium melt just above room temperature.ercury(II) oxide, the main oxide of mercury, arises when the metal is exposed to air for long periods at elevated temperatures. It reverts to the elements upon heating near 400 Â°C, as was demonstrated by Joseph Priestley in an early synthesis of pure oxygen.
Mercury is a natural occurring element. This element can be found in rocks, soil, water, but also in air and in living things. Mercury is a unique metal in the world, as it is liquid at room temperature. Mercury is odorless, but also colorless, at least in its pure form.
