Sprinkle sulfur powder over the contaminated area and rub it gently all over the surface and into the cracks with a paper towel. Sulfur powder binds with mercury. Use a paper towel dampened with water followed by wiping with another damp paper towel to clean up the sulfur and mercury.

The miners combine the mercury with gold-containing ores; the mercury reacts with the gold particles to form a mercury-gold amalgam. The amalgam is then heated, to burn off the mercury, leaving behind only the gold. This technique is quick and effective; it is also inexpensive, because mercury itself is very cheap.

Put the copper cable into the ‘old’ mercury so negative charge will flow through the mercury. Pour the electrolytic solution over the top of the mercury and put the graphite anode into the solution without touching the layer of mercury. Let the charge flow.

Mercury atoms are strongly attracted to each other; they bead together on surfaces. Mercury sticks to itself when it flows.

We say that mercury is a weakly diamagnetic substance at room temperature. You can also make a permanent magnet out of a loop of superconducting mercury.

Mercury does not wet glass – the cohesive forces within the drops are stronger than the adhesive forces between the drops and glass. When liquid mercury is confined in a tube, its surface (meniscus) has a convex shape because the cohesive forces in liquid mercury tend to draw it into a drop.

Mercury’s chemical symbol, Hg, comes from the Greek “hydrargyrum” meaning liquid silver. Mercury is also known as “quicksilver,” a reference to its mobility.

It’s not just a character from the X-Men movies: Quicksilver is the alternative name for the metal Mercury. Mercury, atomic number 80 on the periodic table, is a heavy, silvery-white liquid metal.

Quicksilver is liquid, silver colored, and is fascinating to look at. The word comes from the sense of quick that means “alive;” the Latin root is argentum vivum, which is literally “living silver.”

Quicksilver has been seen at a top speed of four or five times the speed of sound (Mach 4 or 5).
