Excerpt: Mercury ( or ) is a chemical element with the symbol Hg and atomic number 80. It is also known as quicksilver ( ) or hydrargyrum ( ), from "hydr-" water and "argyros" silver. Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at standard conditions for temperature and pressure; the only other element that is liquid under these conditions is bromine. With a freezing point of 38.83 C and boiling point of 356.73 C, mercury has one of the narrowest ranges of its liquid state of any metal. A heavy, silvery d-block metal, mercury is also one of the five metallic chemical elements that are liquid at ...
