Thank you very much for asking this question. Let me help you here.
Water and Mercury are too very different things, and while water is made up of Hydrogen and Oxygen, mercury is an element which is a liquid metal at room temperature.
Water has a very low density while mercury has a very high density, that is why water rises, while mercury actually drops down in the capillary tube
