Metabolite Identification
Common NameMercury
DescriptionMercury, also known as HG2+ or mercuric ion, belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as homogeneous transition metal compounds. These are inorganic compounds containing only metal atoms,with the largest atom being a transition metal atom. Mercury exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and possibly neutral molecule. Mercury is a potentially toxic compound.
