  • A very toxic substance, it is considered a poison
  • the exposure limit; IDLH: 10 mg/m3

  • It is insoluble in water, but is soluable in other things such as nitric acid.
  • Highly Toxic
  • Non-combustible

Hows it made?

  • Technically not a true compound because it is made from the compound Mercuric oxide (HgO) and Mercury.
  • However it can occur naturally if mercury is in moist air, which may cause it to oxidize into a film of mercurous oxide.
