Mercury is a metal used in thermometers and bromine is a nonmetal.
Metal, non metal is the difference between mercury and bromine.

Ya of course, mercury is also a liquid. But bromine is the only liquid metalloid !

Bromine is the only liquid non metal at room temperature while in case of metals it is mercury and of couse you all are also right. Manzoor explained it right and also revathi.

Vandrwall s forces is not responsible for remaining liquid in room temperature
generally bromine has the specific property which it itself remains constant without change of any thing where as the other ones changes gradually due to raise in room temperature.

Because it is its physical property.

Due to increase of vander waals forces, accordingly high melting point.

With an increase in the atomic number the vander waals forces of attractions between the molecules increase so the physical state changes. Therefore, Bromine is liquid at room temparature.
