Answer 1

$\huge{\tt{\red{}\green{A}\purple{N}\pink{S}\blue{W}\orange{E}\red{R}}}$

Mercury is a poor conductor of heat, but a fair conductor of electricity. Mercury has a unique electron configuration which strongly resists removal of an electron, making it behave similarly to noble gas elements. As a result, mercury forms weak bonds and is a liquid at room temperature.
