Notable Isotopes:
(Hg-198, Hg-200, Hg-202)
Used for testing mercury's effect on habitats brimming with fish.

Hg-200:
Not only used for testing habitats, it's also been used for creating radioactive Hg-203 that's used for gamma radiation calibration.]]> 2020-09-22 02:46:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hachen9/8i90y3folspgwd82/wish/766694021 hachen9 https://padlet.com/hachen9/8i90y3folspgwd82/wish/766695447 Mercury is a natural element that occurs in nature. It can be usually seen building up in environments with freshwater and saltwater fish as methylmercury. It can also be found in deposits of rocks, specifically in veins of cinnabar.]]> 2020-09-22 02:47:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hachen9/8i90y3folspgwd82/wish/766695447 hachen9 https://padlet.com/hachen9/8i90y3folspgwd82/wish/766695772 Mercury is a unique metal that is both considered a metal and a non-metal, being liquid when it's in ordinary temperature and being able to conduct heat and electricity despite doing it very poorly. Mercury is also part of transitional metal family, well known for how they have valence electrons on two shells.]]> 2020-09-22 02:47:13 UTC https://padlet.com/hachen9/8i90y3folspgwd82/wish/766695772 hachen9 https://padlet.com/hachen9/8i90y3folspgwd82/wish/766698221 The origin of the name derives from its Greek name, hydrargyrum, a word that means "liquid silver". It's also known as the "quicksilver" for its mobility, named after the planet itself. Mercury was well-known in the past, often used in medicine, cosmetics and ointments by the Chinese and Greeks.]]> 2020-09-22 02:48:24 UTC https://padlet.com/hachen9/8i90y3folspgwd82/wish/766698221 hachen9 https://padlet.com/hachen9/8i90y3folspgwd82/wish/766698662 Mercury is commonly used in:

- Iron is the only metal that can be fused with mercury and allow it to retain its original form.
-The countries that distribute the most mercury in modern day is China & Kyrgyzstan.]]> 2020-09-22 02:48:46 UTC https://padlet.com/hachen9/8i90y3folspgwd82/wish/766699132
