Mercury’s natural state is where the atoms are close to each other but are still free to pass by each other. in which state(s) could mercury naturally exist? gas liquid solid or liquid solid or gas

Mercury exists in liquid state

Mercury is the only metal that is a liquid at normal temperatures and pressure. Mercury has a low melting point because of the behavior of the valence electrons. Mercury is a poor electrical and thermal conductor and doesn't form diatomic mercury molecules in the gas phase. Mercury is generally found as a liquid but at -40 degrees Celsius it freezes and turns into a solid.
