Answer:

At room temperature, mercury and bromine are of fluid consistency, it is because their melting or melting temperature is very low, so low that it reaches room temperature.

Compared to mercury and other metals, the more traditional metals have much higher melting temperatures.

On the other hand, bromine is not a metal, since it does not have the ability to oxidize with the presence of oxygen and also does not give up electrons.

Explanation:

Mercury in the periodic table is Hg, and bromine is Br

When a magnesium ribbon is heated in air the product former is heavier.on the other hand when potassium manganate(VII) is heated
vesna_86 [32]

Answer: On heating, Magnesium forms its oxide; while potassium manganate(VII) decomposes

Explanation:

Magnesium Mg, on heating forms Magnesium oxide

2Mg(s) + O2(g) --> 2MgO

Potassium permanganate KMnO4, on heating decomposes to potassium manganate K2MnO4, manganese dioxide MnO2, and Oxygen gas O2.

2KMnO4 --> K2MnO4 + MnO2 + O2

The difference in observation is that, on heating, Magnesium forms its OXIDE as product; while potassium manganate(VII) decomposes, giving OFF most of its constituents and reducing its weight.
