Answer:
Mercury is the only one in liquid state at room temperature. It's used in thermometers because it has high coefficient of expansion. Hence, the slightest change in temperature is notable when it's used in a thermometer. It also has a high boiling point which makes it very suitable to measure higher temperatures.

It also has a high boiling point which makes it very suitable to measure higher temperatures. Mercury is a good conductor of heat. So mercury level indicates the temperature as quickly as possible and accurately. The texture does not stick to the surface.
