Is it the relativistic contraction that causes mercury to be a liquid at room temperature? The average velocity of a 1s electron is Zc/137 where Z is the atomic number and c is the speed of light. So for Hg that is 80c/737=0.58c.
Then we apply Einstein’s relativity…
m=m0/((1-(v/c)^2)^0.5) where m is mass and m0 is resting mass
so for Hg m=m0((1-(0.58c/c)^2)^0.5) = 1.2m0
Since the electron is 20% heavier, the s1 radius is also 20 % smaller that without relativistic effects.
