Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.

Mercury is the only liquid metal which exists at room temperature. Mercury-mercury bonding may be very susceptible due to the fact its valence electrons aren't shared without difficulty. It can be heated without difficulty and the heat overcomes the susceptible bonding among mercury atoms. Mercury boils and melts at a lower temperature than some other steel.
