What do you understand by talling of mercury ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Mercury is a mobile liquid but in presence of ozone it loses its mobility due to the formation of mercury suboxide and starts sticking to the glass. This is called as tailing of mercury. `2Hg + O_(3) to Hg_(2)O + O_(2)`
