"Mercury is the only metallic element that is known to be liquid at room temperature."

Uh aktually, gallium melts at 29.7646 °C/85.5763 °F, which isn't even that hot.

If I remember correctly from when I studied chemistry (it's been a bit) the typical standard there is 25c. That is hotter than typical room temp as far as how people use that colloquially though.

The ideal room temp, IMO, is 20c. Anything over that starts to get hot and sweaty. 25 is very uncomfortably hot
