Why has water higher vapour pressure than mercury ?

Which of the following has higher vapour pressure? (mercury, water)

Assertion:Ether has higher vapour pressure than water at a given temperature. Reason: Water has stronger inter molecular forces than ether.

Name the liquid with higher vapour pressure in the following pairs : (a) Alcohol, glycerine , (b) Petrol, kerosene, (c ) mercury, water.

Name the liquid with higher vapour pressure in the following pairs : (a) Alcohol, glycerin , (b) Petrol, kerosene, (c ) mercury, water.

Assertion:Vapour pressure of water is less than 373K at 1.013 bar. Reason: Water boils at 273K as the vapour pressure at this temperature becomes equal to atmospheric pressure

Mercury has almost no vapour pressure. Why?
