poorest metal conductor

Deadly_king:
How come it is a d-block element when it has 6s2 as outermost shell??

Yeah i understand it will be much stable than other metals.......although not like noble gases  ;)

If you're doing A levels, make sure your basics are clear mate. You don't want trouble in the long run.

I just said it comes close to noble gases, resisting removal of electrons. Ofc it's not one. It tends to be.

Deadly_king:
Yupz......i understood that..............Thanks for your trouble :)

Does that explain why it is used in thermometers? Of course along with the fact it's a liquid at normal temperatures.
The temperature of the body is not 'conducted' therefore giving accurate results for the measurement of temperature...? :-[

Poorest electrical conductor as I told u, Tin (Sn).  :D

Fine no argument, but if the shells s,p,d,f are wholly filled, then too it has the charge +2, and if it behave as a noble gas, compounds containing noble gases are introduced by psychics (i mean the scientists). i.e. XeF6.
