Mercury is used instead of water even when it is easily available to us because of the following reasons:-
1. Mercury is a good conductor of heat.
2. Mercury doesn't change to vapour form when heated.
3. Because of it's density.

Answer:
Water is not able to be used as a thermometer liquid because of its higher freezing point and lower boiling point than the other liquids in general. If water is used in a thermometer, it will start phase variation at 0∘C and 100∘C. This will not help in measuring temperature, beyond this range.
