recent article in daily mail stated there are only 5 naturally occuring elements which remain liquid at room t

Question

empreture,2 are water and mercury,what are the other 3 ?

Answer 1

First of all, water's not one of them b/c it's not an element, it's a molecule. Now this can be argued b/c the first three i'm gonna list have melting points just above what I consider room temp (20-25 degrees Celsius) but by no more than 5 degrees. Here they are: Gallium, Cesium, Francium, Bromine, and of course Mercury.

I wouldn't consider Rubidium one b/c it's melting point is 39.91. The others are all less than 30

Answer 2

you've got this a bit mixed up. Water is not an element, it's a compound. And, it depends a bit on what you're calling "room temperature".....
Off the top of my head, mercury is a liquid. Bromine is also a liquid at room temperature, but it evaporates pretty quickly with the lid off. If the room was a bit warm, over about 25 degrees Celsius, Gallium is a liquid also.
As far as the other two go, someone else will have to look that one up. I don't know that off the top of my head.

Answer 3

Liquid at 25°C

Bromine
Mercury

Become Liquid 25°C-40°C
Francium
Cesium
Gallium
Rubidium

Answer 4

There are only two : mercury and bromine. The other three mentioned could become liquid at room temperaure, having melting points under 30 degrees C. Water is not an element being a compound of hydrogen and oxygen, but it was considered one by the ancients.

Answer 5

Water isn't one of them (it isn't an element, it is a compound.) But the five naturally occuring elements that can be liquid at room temperature are:

1. Rubidium
2. Bromine
3. Cesium
4. Gallium
5. Mercury

No one would store Rubidium at room temperature, though, because it would ignite.

Answer 6

I think the Daily Mail has it wrong!!!!

Water is NOT an element, it is a compound (H2O)
There are only two naturally occurring elements which are liquid at ambient temperature and pressure, they are:-

MERCURY

BROMINE.
