Hello friend !!!!

Here's the answer you are looking for

Mercury is not a compound. It is an element.

It is an element present in the d-block, period 6 and group 12 of the periodic table. The symbol for Mercury is Hg because it's Latin name is hydrargyrum.

It's atomic number is 80 and atomic mass is 200.59g/mole.

Electrons per shell: K2-L8-M18-N32-O18-P2

Therefore, Mercury is an element and not a compound because it consists of only one type of atoms whereas compounds consists of more than one type of atoms.
