Mercury is liquid because it has low melting point. It is liquid at room temperature.
But, Mercury comes under the category of metal. This this is because the characteristic of Mercury matches with the characteristic of metals.
The characteristic of Mercury due to which it is listed under metals are–
• It is lustorous.
• It conducts electricity.
• It is malleable.
• It donates electrons.
