Question

Which element makes amalgam sodium mercury calcium florin?

Answer 1

Answer:

Amazingly almost every element can exist as a solid, a liquid, and a gas - it all depends on the temperature.

Mercury, for example, is generally found as a liquid but at -40 degrees Celsius it freezes and turns into a solid.

And Mercury vapor (gas) is found in some particles of light.

Answer 2

Explanation:

An amalgam is an alloy of mercury with another metal, which may be a liquid, a soft paste or a solid, depending upon the proportion of mercury. These alloys are formed through metallic bonding,[1] with the electrostatic attractive force of the conduction electrons working to bind all the positively charged metal ions together into a crystal lattice structure.[2] Almost all metals can form amalgams with mercury, the notable exceptions being iron, platinum, tungsten, and tantalum. Silver-mercury amalgams are important in dentistry, and gold-mercury amalgam is used in the extraction of gold from ore. Dentistry has used alloys of mercury with metals such as silver, copper, indium, tin and zinc.
