Conduction is a temperature transfer process where heat energy is transferred through direct contact between materials, moving from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature.

The process by which heat transfers from the hot end to the cold end of an object is called conduction.

Mercury is very difficult to dispose of safely due to its toxicity and environmental impact.

It requires special handling and disposal procedures to prevent contamination and harm to health and the environment.

The maximum and minimum temperatures measured within a day are given by a maximum minimum thermometer. This device records the highest and lowest temperatures over a specified period.

The thermometer used to measure the temperature of objects other than the human body is called a laboratory thermometer.

It is designed for use in scientific experiments and can measure a wider range of temperatures than a clinical thermometer.

Mercury is primarily considered a toxic substance. While it can be cool or hot depending on its temperature, its toxicity is the most significant characteristic, making it hazardous to health and the environment.
