Mercury has a high boiling point of about 357oC and therefore can be used to measure temperatures as high as 357oC. 2. Mercury has a freezing point of about 39oC and hence is suitable in thermometers to record low temperatures (although not very low temperatures). 3. Mercury is opaque and has a shining silvery color of its own, making it clearly visible in the capillary tube of a thermometer. 4. Mercury needs very little heat to expand and so it can easily measure the temperature of a body without causing a decrease in the body's temperature. 5. Mercury does not stick to the side of the glass capillary tube of a thermometer. Therefore, it allows accurate temperature measurement. 6. Mercury is a good conductor of heat. 7. Mercury is relatively expensive.
