metallic bond is very very weak in Hg while others have a significant metallic bond...so Hg kernels are no hold together so well so it is a liquid

kishorekishzzz: any other reasons...it is a normal reason from all ......
kishorekishzzz: but Tq
kishorekishzzz: and it is nice
isha62: It has the lowest melting point and boiling point of any other metal. It has low thermal conductivity, and a quite low electrical conductivity. It is the only metal that doesn’t form diatomic molecules in the gaseous phase.
isha62: it does not forn diatomic molecules so remain in liquid phase and can't pack more tightly
