Mmmmm... Nothing like a cold refreshing class of liquid mercury on a hot summer day! Lol.

I think physically freezing just means going from a liquit to a solid - so yeah,it's the same thing. In our day to day experience, we're so used to 'freezing' meaning the freezing point of water, that it's deeply ingrained in our minds that freezing=cold. Plus, according to the online etymology dictionary, our current word freeze comes from an older word meaning 'turn to ice'.

Wanna trade your frozen penny for a cool glass of condensed steam?

wanted to learn more about mercury so i could make anti gravity ufo.

[danagol1985]

I have a question - When you drop the temperature of the metal mercury, it freezes, as shown here. So it would be referred to as frozen.

So does that mean if I hold a copper penny in my hand, it's actually frozen copper, even though it does not feel cold?

I mean the copper penny is not hot enough to melt, so it must be frozen, right?

@Hegonta No. Mercury isn't radioactive at all, although its vapour is exceedingly poisonous and it is also toxic by skin absorption, so should only be handled in a WELL ventilated room wearing rubber gloves.
