Overview. Mercury is a transition metal. A transition metal is one of the elements found between Groups 2 (IIA) and 13 (IIIA) on the periodic table. The periodic table is a chart that shows how chemical elements are related to one another.Mercury has long been known as quicksilver, because it is a silver liquid.ercury is the only liquid metal. In fact, there is only one other liquid element, bromine. Bromine is a non-metal. Mercury can be frozen (changed into a solid) at a temperature of â38.85Â°C (â37.93Â°F). It can be changed into a gas (boiled) at 365.6Â°C (690.1Â°F). Its density is 13.59 grams per cubic centimeter.
Mercury is a chemical element with the symbol Hg and atomic number 80. It is commonly known as quicksilver and was formerly named hydrargyrum.Mercury is the only metallic element that is liquid at standard conditions for temperature and pressure.Mercury is used in thermometers, barometers, manometers and many other devices.Concerns about the element's toxicity have led people to look for alternatives such as alcohol or galinstan-filled thermometers.ercury is used in thermometers, barometers, manometers and many other devices.
