In an anti stereospecific reaction that follows Markovnikov's rule, a cation of this element and an alkene reacts, and then a reduction occurs that creates an alcohol.
Millon's reagent contains this element in nitric acid. In the FranckHertz experiment, electrons were sent through a tube filled with this element, which is also found in saturated calomel electrodes. In an anti stereospecific reaction that follows Markovnikov's rule, a cation of this element and an alkene reacts, and then a reduction occurs that creates an alcohol. Cinnabar is the sulfide of this element, which is used with silver and tin in dental amalgams. One atmosphere is equal to the pressure exerted by a column of this element 760 millimeters high. For 10 points, name this element that is a silvery liquid at room temperature and can be used in thermometers.
