Mercury is preferred as a thermometric liquid over water because it has a higher density, which means it can easily fill narrow spaces in a thermometer and provide more accurate readings. Additionally, mercury has a lower freezing point than water (-38.83°C compared to 0°C), which allows it to be used in lower temperature applications. While mercury does have a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than water, this is not the primary reason for its use as a thermometric liquid.
