It  is a heavy, silvery-white liquid metal, it has a freezing point of −38.83 °C and a boiling point of 356.73 °C, upon freezing, the volume of mercury decreases by 3.59% and its density changes from 13.69 g/cm when liquid to 14.184 g/cm when solid, solid mercury is malleable and ductile and can be cut with a knife. what is this aforesaid point mentioned? The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapor what is its role as a reference of a compoud? The normal boiling point can serve as an indication of that compound's overall volatility what is its temperature saturation level? Saturation temperature means "boiling point", the saturation temperature is the temperature for a corresponding saturation pressure at which a liquid boils into its vapor phase

Mercury (element) [SEP] History
Mercury was found in Egyptian tombs that date from 1500 BC. In China and Tibet, mercury use was thought to prolong life, heal fractures, and maintain generally good health, although it is now known that exposure to mercury vapor leads to serious adverse health effects. The first emperor of China, Qín Shǐ Huáng Dì—allegedly buried in a tomb that contained rivers of flowing mercury on a model of the land he ruled, representative of the rivers of China—was killed by drinking a mercury and powdered jade mixture formulated by Qin alchemists (causing liver failure, mercury poisoning, and brain death) who intended to give him eternal life.
