Question

Mercury is liquid at room temperature this is due to?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mercury is the only metal that is a liquid at normal temperatures and pressure. ... Basically, it's because mercury is bad at sharing—electrons, that is. Most metal atoms readily share valence electrons with other atoms. The electrons in a mercury atom are bound more tightly than usual to the nucleus

Answer 2

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{red}{Pink}{Answer}}$

mercury exists as a liquid at room temperature due to weak metallic bonding. 

 $\huge\mathcal\color{teal} <strong>Extra</strong> :-$

Any substance will exist as a liquid at room temperature if it melting point is lower than room temperature. The melting point of mercury is -390 C, which is the lowest amongst the metals. The reason why mercury has such a low melting point and so exists as a liquid is actually related to its electronic structure. All its orbitals are completely filled with electrons. Because of this, it has very high ionisation energy which makes it difficult for electrons to participate in metallic bonding.
