Question

Which p- block elements exist as liquid at room temperature?

Answer 1

The only liquid elements at standard temperature and pressure are bromine (Br) and mercury (Hg). Although, elements caesium (Cs), rubidium (Rb), Francium (Fr) and Gallium (Ga) become liquid at or just above room temperature.

Answer 2

“Room temperature” is an approximately characterized term that can mean somewhere in the “range” of 20°C to 29°C. For science, it is typically viewed as either 20°C or 25°C. At this temperature and conventional weight, just two elements are liquids which include Bromine and mercury.

Bromine is a rosy darker fluid, with a melting point of 265.9 K. Mercury is a harmful sparkling shimmering metal, with a melting point of 234.32 K. Out of mercury and bromine, bromine is a p-block element. Hence, it can be inferred that p- block element bromine exists as liquid at room temperature.
