Mercury Shouldn't Be Liquid. But It Is.
Mercury, a.k.a. quicksilver, is famous for being a liquid at room temperature...and also below room temperature. But you can't use a high school chem class to explain why. Instead, we need a little help from Einstein.

Using ROMAN NUMERALS to name Ionic Compounds w/ a Transition Metal in Chemistry!
Transition metals are elements in the d orbital. The reason these are unique is that they do not have 1 set charge they become when they become an ion like elements in the s and p orbital. Elements in the d orbital, or our transition...
