Which of the following is in liquid form at room temperature?
-
Lithium
-
Sodium
-
Francium
-
Cerium
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Francium is liquid at or slightly above room temperature (melting point ~27°C), though it's extremely rare and radioactive. Lithium melts at 180°C, sodium at 98°C, and cerium at 795°C - all solid at room temperature (25°C). Francium's low melting point follows the trend of increasing atomic size in Group 1.
