Mercury dissolves other metals into amalgams
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Mercury is not just content being a liquid metal; it wants to assimilate its neighbors. It casually dissolves other solid metals like gold and silver into sludgy mixtures known as amalgams. If you drop a gold flake into a dish of mercury, the mercury simply eats it, destroying the solid structure and absorbing it into its own metallic soup.
One discovery leads to another.
