Answer 1

Answer:

Answer

Similarities:

Bulbs contain mercury.

Glass tubes are long, narrow and uniform.

Differences:

The clinical thermometer is used to measure body temperature, however, laboratory thermometer is not used for the purpose of measuring body temperature.

The temperature range of clinical thermometers is 35°C to 42°C and that of laboratory thermometers is -10°C to 110°C.

The least count of both the thermometers is different.

The clinical thermometer is can be tilted while reading the temperature values whereas laboratory thermometer need to be kept upright.
