Atomic Number of Mercury (+ facts: Uses, Color and more...)

Every atom has an atomic number, even Mercury. But what is an "Atomic Number"?
The atomic number of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of the atom of that element.
Ok so I'll take you through some interesting facts and data about Mercury (That most people don't know).

Mercury Overview

Atomic Number

80

Learn more about the atomic number.

Atomic Symbol

Hg (Mercury)

Description

Heavy, silver-white metal, liquid at ordinary temperatures.

State at 20 °C

liquid

Sources

Virtually all mercury comes from cinnabar or mercury sulfide (HgS). Some sources of red cinnabar are so rich in mercury that droplets of elemental mercury can be found in random samples.

Uses

Used in thermometers, barometers, and batteries. Also used in electrical switches and mercury-vapor lighting products.

Discovery

Discovered By: Known to the ancients.
Year: Unknown
Location: Unknown

Name Origin

From the Roman god Mercury; symbol from Latin: hydrargyrus (liquid silver).

Atomic Mass

200,59
