Which of the following metal exist in the liquid state?

(a) Na

(b) Ag

(c) Cr

(d) Hg

Solution:

Option (d) is the answer. Mercury is a poor heat conductor yet a good electrical conductor. Mercury has a peculiar electron arrangement that makes it behave similarly to noble gas elements when an electron is removed. Mercury creates weak bonds as a result, and is a liquid at ambient temperature.
