Amalgam is an alloy of mercury with other metals. So the answer is : mercury reacts with other metals to form an amalgam.

An amalgam is a substance formed by the reaction of mercury with another metal. Almost all metals can form amalgams with mercury, notable exceptions being iron and platinum.

An alloy of mercury with another metal (usually silver) used by dentists to fill cavities in teeth; except for iron and platinum all metals dissolve in mercury and chemists refer to the resulting mercury mixtures as amalgams.

Mercury is the only metal which forms amalgams with other metals. Ex: zinc amalgam.
Why iron and platinum can't form amalgam with Hg ?
Gaman Batra said:
(Fri, Aug 17, 2012 05:18:04 PM)
Because. The amalgam is small molecule & also mercury is also be small & it is a mixtuer of mercury & silver i.e. Zn.

@Gaman Batra told, mercury has small molecule which is mixed with Zn. Then what about Iron and Platinum? Why it can't form amalgam with Hg? Any one give an brief explanation for my question?

If one of the metal is mercury, then the alloy is known as amalgam.

Alloy of mercury with any metal is called as amalgam. Hence mercury is the metal which forms amalgams.
