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.

2:11 I have an old landline phone that has a mercury switch as a mute function. If the handset is placed horizontally, like on a table, it mutes the microphone. When held on the ear, it is unmuted. Cool to see here how it actually works (together with a lot of other interesting info about mercury of course)👍

I'm allergic to mercury, can't even touch it without getting really really sick. This allergy is so rare and weird to find out that when I told my science teacher back in high school he didn't believe me and mocked me saying "Everyone is "allergic" to poison". I found this allergy when a thermometer broke on my leg and I touched a drop of mercury smaller than a drop of water, I don't want to imagine how sick I would get by putting a finger like in the video.

They are also used in super-high-current electrical switches (usually in marine applications) that controls hundreds of amps of current because the ability for mercury to "heal" contact spots.

Thanks for the informative video. Mercury-filled gauges are an essential tool for maintenance of multi-carburetor engines. (read: most motorcycles before EFI.) And it’s getting harder to get mercury refills for them because everyone is so freaked out about how dangerous it is.

Hi Nigel, I know it's already been done (notably by periodic videos), I'd like to see you gradually traverse though the ENTIRE periodic table of elements. (Your video 'style' is somewhat different to that of Martin / Brady et al so it's worth having you do the whole lot)

I had no idea how interesting mercury could be. 😃 That reaction on aluminium and gold is amazing.

“It’s elemental symbol is HG, because it’s based off its older and much harder to pronounce name” The pause after this made me think he wasn’t gonna tell us the old name.

Who would have thought that mercury looks so amazing! And how it interacts with aluminum and mercury thiocyanate can be viewed endlessly. A very relaxing sight. It's a pity teacher didn't show me this in chemistry lessons.

Thanks for helping me make mercury, I got cinabbar and called it stupid and ugly and got the metal. Keep up with the amazing content!
