So let's convert this amount of mL to grams:

Then we need to convert to moles using the molar weight found on the periodic table for mercury (Hg):

Then we need to convert moles to atoms using Avogadro's number:
![\frac{6.022*10^{23}atoms}{1mole} *[8.135*10^{-2}mol]=4.90*10^{22}atoms](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B6.022%2A10%5E%7B23%7Datoms%7D%7B1mole%7D%20%2A%5B8.135%2A10%5E%7B-2%7Dmol%5D%3D4.90%2A10%5E%7B22%7Datoms%20)
So now we know that in 1.2 mL of liquid mercury, there are
present.
In order to become a scientific theory the three
categories that it must pass are the following:
1) Can the phenomena be recreated in a laboratory setting?
2) Can variables be changed, yet still result in like observations?
3) Is the phenomena truly natural or was it the result of a man-made force
enacting upon it?
Answer:

group 16 period 2 of the periodic table
note: that is not the electronic configuration, that is the Bohr model.
I don’t want to be wrong but I’m gonna say 2p
