Quicksilver \Quick"sil`ver\, n. [Quick living silver; -- so
called from its fluidity; cf. G. quecksilber, L. argentum
vivum. See {Quick}, a.] (Chem.)

from cinnabar, one of its ores. It is a heavy, opaque,

Mercury has a molecule which consists of only one atom. It
was named by the alchemists after the god Mercury, and
designated by his symbol, [mercury].
[1913 Webster]

Note: Mercury forms alloys, called amalgams, with many
metals, and is thus used in applying tin foil to the
backs of mirrors, and in extracting gold and silver
from their ores. It is poisonous, and is used in
medicine in the free state as in blue pill, and in its
compounds as calomel, corrosive sublimate, etc. It is
the only metal which is liquid at ordinary
temperatures, and it solidifies at about -39[deg]
Centigrade to a soft, malleable, ductile metal.

the skin, esp. to the {Rhus Toxicodendron}, or poison
ivy.
[1913 Webster]

plant differing from {Mercurialis annua} by having the
