Metal Print : Drops of liquid mercury
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Drops of liquid mercury
Drops of liquid mercury on a hard surface. Mercury has a very low melting point and is the only metal that is liquid at standard room temperature and pressure. It has an extremely high surface tension and will form droplets that appear to roll around on hard surfaces. Mercury is also highly toxic

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of drops of liquid mercury on a hard surface. The silver-y, reflective nature of mercury is truly highlighted as these droplets glisten under the light. It's fascinating to note that mercury, unlike any other metal, remains in its liquid state at standard room temperature and pressure due to its remarkably low melting point. The high surface tension of this toxic element causes it to form spherical droplets that appear to effortlessly roll around on hard surfaces. However, it's important to remember that despite its alluring appearance, mercury is highly poisonous and poses significant health risks. This image serves as a reminder of the wonders and dangers found within the realm of chemistry and physics. As an essential chemical element with symbol Hg, mercury has long been studied for its unique properties and applications in various scientific fields. Science education enthusiasts will appreciate this photograph for its ability to spark curiosity about physical phenomena such as high surface tension and materials with unusual characteristics like quicksilver. Let us not forget though that while admiring this stunning image, we must also be mindful of the potential hazards associated with working with or being exposed to toxic substances like mercury.
