is there a subtance called red mercury?

Red mercury is a semi-mythical substance that was claimed to be used in the creation of nuclear bombs (some believed that red mercury was a ballotechnic material). It has risen to prominence due to "sting" operations against putative terrorists. These consist of offering them "red mercury" and then arresting them when they make arrangements to buy this ficticious substance.\n\nhttp://chemistry.about.com/cs/chemicalweapons/f/blredmercury.htm

They can, but they shouldn't eat alot of it. \n\nFish, but most of all tuna.. has mercury in it.. and can cause problems

I think you mean at the atomic level, but still the answer is no.\n\nOne counter example would be positronium. This is when an electron and its anti particle, a positron, "revolve" around each other.  This is very unstable with a half-life of about 10^-7 seconds. \n\nThere are other exotic atoms of this type. Any atom formed by a particle and its anti particle is called an onia.

Most mercury contamination is connected to water. The naturally occurring mercury (Cinnabar) is probably the only way to store the metal safely. Humans have been extracting large quantities of mercury from Cinnabar since the Roman Empire. The Romans extracted more than enough for all of us forever. Since it is so much easier to find more Cinnabar and extract more mercury than it is to reclaim what has been thrown out in the trash, we continue to extract more. In the not too distant future, we may find it easier to extract mercury from cremated human bodies of those who died of mercury poisoning.

Do you mean mercury sulphite?

The mercury probably doesn't have much value as it is probably impure and possibly contaminated being contained in a jar for an extended period of time. The most important concern is to NOT open the jar. Mercury is very poisonous and can be deadly in large amounts such as the one that you have. You should consult with someone to ensure that it is disposed of properly, and do not attempt to dispose of the metal yourself. So in short, the mercury isn't worth much, but it's such a large amount that you want to be very careful with it. Hope this helps!

Mercury is the only common metal liquid at ordinary temperatures and rarely occurs free in nature.  \n\nIt is a heavy, silvery white metal; a rather poor conductor of heat, as compared with other metals, and a fair conductor of electricity.  It easily forms alloys with many metals, such as gold, silver and time which are called amalgams.  \n\nThe metal is widely used laboratory work for making thermometers, barometers, diffusion ion pumps and many other instruments. Mercury should be handled with care because of the absorbing through the skin and can cause many problems (very serious ones).

Mercury has been observed for thousands of years, and the Babylonians are credited with mentioning it in writing for the first time some 3000 years ago.\n\n* Johann Hieronymus Schroeter was the first to observe the planet Mercury and record detailed drawings of Mercury's surface features. Schroeter lived from 1745 to 1816. Unfortunately, his sketches were not very accurate. \n\n* Streaks similar to the so-called "Martian Canals" were also seen on Mercury by Schiaparellit and Percival Lowell (1855-1916). \n\n* An astronomer by the name of Eugenios Antoniadi (1870-1944) charted the surface of Mercury in great detail. His maps were used for almost 50 years. He used one of the stronger telescopes of his time and found the canals to be optical illusions. \n\n* Mariner 10 provided a close look at Mercury which redrew earlier telescope charts and maps.

Not all foods that contain mercury are required to have the warning label. The FDA requires only foods with a certain level of mercury to have the label - and that's only if you eat a certain amount of it.\n\nCheck the link below for a statement on mercury from the FDA.

Mercury has no true atmosphere.  It only has trace amounts of whatever gases are present.  See the given link.

hi,\n\nmercury is element #80 on the periodic table.  that means it has 80 protons in its nucleus.  for mercury to be electrically neutral (as in mercury metal) the number of electrons have to be equal to the number of protons.\n\nas for the different isotopes, there are 7 different naturally-occurring isotopes of mercury.  they are:\n\nMercury-196 (196 - 80 = 116 neutrons)\nMercury-198 (198 - 80 = 118 neutrons)\nMercury-199 (199 - 80 = 119 neutrons)\nMercury-200 (200 - 80 = 120 neutrons)\nMercury-201 (201 - 80 = 121 neutrons)\nMercury-202 (202 - 80 = 122 neutrons)\nMercury-204 (204 - 80 = 124 neutrons)
