Why people prefer to mercury thermometer to be used rather than alcohol thermometer?

Answer :

Sisrikshya

Explanation:

There is a technical reason for using mercury in clinical thermometers. Mercury has a greater coefficient of thermal expansion than alcohol. This means a column of mercury will expand and rise more than a column of alcohol for the same temperature change. As a result, you can get finer readings with mercury.
