Outline the reasons why the element mercury (Hg) is not a suitable candidate for the material responsible
Question:
Outline the reasons why the element mercury (Hg) is not a suitable candidate for the material responsible for producing the magnetic dipole fields in the four giant planets. (The relative abundance by number of Hg is 12 on a scale that sets the abundance of H at 1012. On this scale the relative abundances of some common elements are Si 3.5 × 107, N 1.1 × 108, Fe 3.2 × 107. Note that the density of Hg is about 1.36 × 104 kg m-3.)
