Only Non Metal That Is Liquid At Room Temperature

Mercury is one and the most common but it like 4 others is a metal.

Only non metal that is liquid at room temperature. There are 5 elements that can be liquid at room temperature. The only non metal that meets your description is bromine. It has one of the longest liquid ranges of any metal and has a low vapour pressure even at high temperatures. Of the four gallium is the only one that is neither highly reactive rubidium and caesium nor highly toxic mercury and can therefore be used in metal in glass high temperature thermometers.

The metal in liquid state at room temperature is mercury bromine is also in liquid state but it is a non metal. Mercury is the only metal element that is liquid at standard temperature and pressure. This is responsible for its name which comes from the greek word bromos meaning stench. At this temperature and ordinary pressure only two elements are liquids.

This makes possible its use in high temperature thermometers. For science it s usually considered to be either 20 c or 25 c. Gallium 31ga is the only metal except for mercury caesium and rubidium which can be liquid near room temperatures. Room temperature is a loosely defined term that can mean anywhere from 20 c to 29 c.

Gallium is one of the four non radioactive metals with caesium rubidium and mercury that are known to be liquid at or near normal room temperature.
