About Mercury
Mercury is a metal with atomic number 80 that is liquid at ordinary room temperature and commonly forms +1 and +2 compounds. Mercury cadmium telluride is a semiconductor material used in infrared detectors. Many historical uses of mercury have been reduced or replaced because of its toxicity, while remaining applications require careful control of vapor exposure and mercury containing waste.
