You are a chemist working in your laboratory. In your storage closet you have a cabinet that holds only samples of pure elements, no compounds. While looking for a sample of lithium (Li), you notice that the label on one bottle has worn off. The room is at normal temperature. The contents of the bottle are liquid and do not look metallic. What element should you relabel the bottle as?

Mercury

Explanation:

While it is true that most metals are solid at room temperature, mercury is liquid at room temperature hence mercury is often designated as the 'liquid metal'.

Thus, if i find a bottle on the shelf that has no solid in it, only liquid and i know that only pure metals are stored in that area of the laboratory, then i will quickly relabel it as mercury.

output?
