00:00Did you know some elements are liquid at room temperature?
00:03First up, Mercury.
00:06With a melting point of 38.83°C,
00:10and a boiling point of 356.73°C,
00:14it's the only metal that's a liquid at room temperature.
00:17You've probably seen it in thermometers or fluorescent lights.
00:21Next, Bromine.
00:23This reddish-brown element melts at 7.2°C
00:28and boils at 58.8°C.
00:32It's used in flame retardants and some medicines.
00:35And did you know Gallium can melt in your hand?
