The metallic element which exists as liquid at room temperature is:
(A) Mercury
(B) Bromine
(C) Zinc
(D) Gallium
Mercury, represented by the symbol Hg, is unique among metals because it remains liquid at typical room temperatures, which are usually between 20°C and 25°C. Its melting point is quite low at -38.83 °C. This characteristic allows mercury to stay in a liquid form under normal atmospheric conditions. No other metal shares this trait at these temperatures. While gallium can melt when it's warm enough, it normally stays solid under standard conditions.
