The metallic element which exists as liquid at room temperature is:
- (A) Mercury
- (B) Bromine
- (C) Zinc
- (D) Gallium
- (A) Mercury
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.

Later on, Laennec decided to make a sturdier version out of wood.
