Mercury is a transition metal element that is very unique because it is the only metal element that exist in a liquid form at room temperature. Due to the liquid property of the metal element Mercury, it is used in thermometers. Other uses for the element Mercury can be found in barometers, gas-pressure regulators, electrodes, and electrical relays and switches.

It covers how barometers measure pressure, noting that sea level pressure is 760 mm Hg, which decreases with altitude, such as to 253 mm Hg on Mount Everest. This reduction impacts oxygen availability, necessitating supplemental oxygen for climbers. Understanding these pressure dynamics is vital for accurate weather predictions.

Each state has distinct properties: solids maintain shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume without a definite shape, and gases have neither. It also mentions plasma as a fourth state, comprised of charged particles. Additionally, it highlights mercury as a unique liquid metal that can also solidify or vaporize.

The height of the mercury column left indicates air pressure. At sea level, the column measures 76 cm, corresponding to a pressure of 100,000 Pa. This method established the basis for measuring atmospheric pressure and units such as the Pascal and bar.

It covers the classification of metals based on physical properties such as conductivity and malleability. Key points include gold's value in jewelry for its softness, copper's role in electrical conduction, and the toxicity of mercury, the only liquid metal at room temperature, which has fallen out of common use.
