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
