Answer:

Physical properties of mercury are described here.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mercury is a metal. Mercury is the only metal which is liquid at room temperature. Mercury is shiny silver in liquid form. It has a melting point of -38.9 degree Celsius and a boiling point of 356.7 degree Celsius. The symbol of mercury is Hg and it has an atomic number, 80 and atomic weight of 200.59. Mercury is a poor conductor of heat and good conductor of electricity. Mercury is considered a heavy metal.

In this question, its liquid form, and the volume of the mercury grows as temperature rises, are the examples of physical properties of the mercury.
