Useless information #34 - Liquid elements at room temperature

Which room?!

Not your freezing bedroom and not your cozy living room heated by the fireplace.

Technically, room temperature is 25ºC (298 K).

  • 2 elements are liquid at this temperature: Bromine and Mercury

When the temperature is slightly warmer, also Francium, Cesium, Gallium and Rubidium start to melt.

And then there are the T1000's : )

See you tomorrow for more “Useless information”
