All about Mercury, the Liquid Metal | Element Series
269,000In this video, I'll be talking about the very interesting element Mercury. I try to cover as much as I can, including its properties, its history and interesting reactions.
Let me know what other element you would like to see. Keep in mind that this takes a lot of work though, and that not all elements will be possible (due to rarity and/or danger).
Let me know if I forgot anything in the description. I probably left out links or something.
