Why is mercury used by jewellers?

Q. We have broken a clinical thermometer, and we have mercury with us. We want to know the positive use for it.

A. Dear Venkat,

Please specify what happened and what do you want to do with the mercury, or if you want to know how a thermometer works.

Hope we can help you!

Best regards,
