It is because of the following reasons:
1. It is the only metal that is foundin liquid state which is a good conductor of heat.
2. It does not stick to the capilary tube.
3. It has the uniform rate of expansion and contraction.
4. It can be easily obtained in pure form.
5. Its specific heat is low .
