Mercury is liquid at room temperature so it is already "melted"
Of course! Mercury is the stuff in thermometers, which (as you know) is liquid. If you've ever broken a thermometer you would have seen the mercury form droplets on the ground (I don't recommend you try this though, it is harmful).
Mercury's melting point is in fact -40C. What this means is that any temperature higher than 40-below-freezing is hot enough for mercury to melt.

Can the planet mercury melt mercury?
yes because the planet Mercury is the second hottest planet in the solar system[after Venus] .Comment: It's not too difficult to melt mercury. The element mercury isliquid at room temperature on Earth, or anywhere else if it gets warmerthan about negative 38 degrees.
What happens if you go on mercury?
You will die!
What have space crafts discovered on Mercury?
I think there is no spacecraft on Mercury because it is to close to the sun, the spacecrafts would just melt.
Why is Deicer salt really good to melt snow?
Because salt has chemicals inside that can easily melt snow
Are light bulbs that contain Mercury dangerous in any way?
yes they are dangerous because mercury will melt easily
Does planet Mercury melted?
Mercury only takes 88 days to go around the sun but if it is closest to the Sun it could melt a little bit. Scientists believe that Mercury in future will melt and will die. I don't know. People will see Mercury through telescopes but it is nearly smaller then Pluto!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO MERCURY DOES MELT!!!!!!!!!!
Can balsa wood float on liquid mercury?
no, because mercury can be able to burn things, so when wood goes into liquid mercury, it would most likely melt or "crash and burn."answ2. The above is not correct. Balsa wood would float easily on the surface of mercury. Mercury is a toxic and dangerous material, but it does not of itself provoke combustion.
Is there any sattellites in mercury?
no the sattellites would melt

Why Mercury the one of the planets did not melt?
Mercury is the innermost planet, closest to the sun. The surface temperature is high in places, but not nearly high enough to melt the rock that it's made out of.
Does potassium iodide melt easily when heated?
Potassium iodide, like salts in general, has a high melting point. It does not melt easily when heated.
How does the planet Mercury feel?
Hot. Mercury is very close to the Sun; the sun-side temperatures on Mercury will melt most metals.
What happens if you go on mercury?
You will die!
What can melt mercury as an element in the periodic table?

How do the valence electron of mercury make it bonding weaks?
Mercury easily shares its valence electrons
