Asugi

Ing **asugi** (*mercury*) king Ingles metung yang elementung
kemikal a maki sagisag a **Hg** ampong bilang atomikung 80.
Mayayaus ya mu namang **quicksilver** o **hydrargyrum** (ibat king
"" *danum* ampong
"" *pilak*). Metung yang mabayat
ampong malapilak a d-block a elementu ing mercury. Iti mu kabud
ing metal a likidu kareng karaniwan a kabilyan para king temperatura
ampong prisyun (standard conditions for temperature and pressure); ing
bukud mung elementung likidu kareng kabilyan a reti ya pin ing
bromine, dapot deng mapilan a metals antimo ing caesium,
francium, gallium, ampong rubidium malalaso la king
temperaturang matas mung bagya kesa king karaniwan a temperatura (room
temperature). Uli ning kayang puntu ning pamagyelu (freezing
point) a −38.83&nbsp;°C ampong puntu ning pamamukal (boiling
point) a 356.73&nbsp;°C, metung ya kareng pekamakitid a lapad ning
estadung likidu ning sanu mang metal.
Atyu ing asugi kareng depositu king keraklan king yatu antimong
cinnabar (mercuric sulfide). Ing malutung panguleng (red
pigment( a  vermilion gagawan de kapamilatan ning pamag-reduce o
reduction ibat king cinnabar. Matalik makalasun ing cinnabar
kapamilatan ning pamamangan kaniti o pamanyingut king alikabuk.
Malyari mu namang malasun kapamilatan ning miririnan uri ning asuging
malalaso king danum (antimo king mercuric chloride o
methylmercury), pamanyingut king asuk ning asugi (mercury vapor),
o pamamangan asan danum ibat dayat malat a maki asugi (eating seafood
contaminated with mercury).
Magagamit ing asugi kareng pang-garadu o termometro (thermometer),
barometro, manometer, sphygmomanometer, float valve,
mercury switch, at aliwa pang kasangkapan, dapot uling king
kapigaganakan king pangalasun ning asugi, alilan danala deng
pang-garadu ampong sphygmomanometers, at alis danalang instrumentung
mitmung alcohol o [galinstan]], o kaya digital, o makabasi king
thermistor. Magagamit ya pa murin king pamangamit pamanyalugsug a
siyentipiku (scientific research applications) ampo king amalgam a sangkap para king pamagpasta da reng dentista.
Magagamit ya para kareng sulu: ing elektrisidad a dadalan king asuk
asugi o mercury vapor king tubong phosphor maglalang yang short-wave
salang ultraviolet (ultraviolet light), at iti maging sangkan bang
ing  phosphor mag-fluoresce, at panibatan na niti ing mayayakit a
sala o *visible light*.
