Answer:
Mercury is less reactive than its neighboring metals, including cadmium and zinc. One reason that mercury is more inert than other elements is because it doesn't give up its valence electrons easily. Valence electrons are electrons in the outer shell of an atom that can be gained, lost or shared in a chemical bond.

Explanation:
Mercury forms amalgams most easily with metals like gold, silver and aluminum. Mercury does not react with all metals; it will not form an alloy with iron, for example, and it is reluctant to form amalgams with most transition metals, excluding manganese, copper and zinc.
