[font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]I remember back in high school being introduced to mercury in our science class. We actually handled the liquid stuff. Thought it was real cool.[/size][/green][/font] [font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]In fact we went home and broke a few thermometers to have some mercury to play with.[/size][/green][/font] [green][font "Poor Richard"][size 3]As davetclown mentioned it's atomic symbol is Hg and it's number is 80. Organic mercury is not an element but a compound. [green]Organic mercury compounds, sometimes called organomercurials, are those containing covalent bonds between carbon and mercury.
