There are two elements which are liquids at normal room temperature. Those two are the metal mercury (Hg) and the nonmetal bromine (Br). Other elements such as gallium (Ga) will melt to a liquid state at temperatures slightly above room temperature. Ga will melt in your hand because your body temperature is higher than the melting point of Ga. On many periodic tables you will see this color-coding system: black = solid; blue = liquid; red = gas; outline = man-made elements.

Halogens are group 7 on the periodic table. They are the 2nd column from the right.... They actually change state down the group: Flourine and chlorine are gases. Bromine is a liquid Iodine is a solid So your answer is bromine. The only other substance that is a liquid at room temp is mercury (a metal).

The liquid phase of an element depends on the temperature and pressure. If you look at the physical properties of an element, an element will be a liquid at temperatures between its melting and boiling points (assuming standard room pressure). At standard room temperature and pressure, mercury and bromine are liquid. Caesium, francium, and gallium are liquid near standard room temperature and pressure.

Depends on the temp...I know that mercury is a liquid at room temp....there is another one that is solid at room temp and a liquid at body temp...but i foget which one...sorry
