Mercury is a liquid meteal but it is not hard? how can we say it is a metal

1 answer:

7 0

What's the problem ? Hardness is not the definition of a metal. You need to expand your thinking. EVERY element is solid, liquid, and gas, over different ranges of temperature ... including all of the metals. There are only TWO elements that are liquid AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, and mercury is one of them. But on a mild day at the south pole, mercury is solid too.

Anhydrous calcium chloride is deliquescent and hence when it is exposed to air, it absorbs water from air. After absorbing water, it dissolves and after some time a pool of clear liquid appears.

Anhydrous copper (ii) sulphate will form crystal structures and the following reaction will takes place
