Facts

Interesting Facts
Moscovium is named after Moscow, where the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research is located.  
  • At room temperature mercury is found in a liquid state.
  • A coin of pound or rupees floats in mercury.
  • Because of its low melting point and boiling point it is used in thermometers.
