All about Mercury, the Liquid Metal | Element Series

In this video, I’ll be talking about the very interesting element Mercury. I try to cover as much as I can, including its properties, its history and interesting reactions. Let me know what other element you would like to see. Keep in mind that this takes a lot of work though, and that not all elements will be possible (due to rarity and/or danger). Let me know if I forgot anything in the description. I probably left out links or something. ------------------------------------------ Video Sources: • Freezing Mercury (Periodic Videos): • Hand in mercury (Cody’s Lab): • Mercury Distillation: • Mercury Vapor (Periodic Videos): • Mercury Switches: • Mercury Conductivity Test: • Mercury Nitrate: • Pharaoh’s Serpent (original):
