The Use of Mercury in Atmospheric Pressure Measurement

It is easily available and cost-effective for making barometers

It has low density and doesn't evaporate, making it ideal for barometers

It has high density and doesn't stick to glass, making it suitable for barometers (correct)

It is a non-toxic and environmentally friendly option for barometers

It has low density, making it rise in the barometer tube with changes in atmospheric pressure

It is a non-reactive metal, ensuring accurate pressure readings

It is a good conductor of electricity, allowing accurate pressure measurements

It has a high boiling point, ensuring it remains in liquid form at room temperature (correct)

Mercury's high density allows for a wider range of pressure measurement compared to water

Mercury is less affected by temperature changes compared to water (correct)

Water's low density causes inaccuracies in pressure measurement

Water evaporates quickly, making it unsuitable for long-term pressure measurement
