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

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

It is one of only 2 elements in periodic table that are liquids at room temperature (mercury is the other, although caesium, gallium, and rubidium melt just above room temperature).

The molecules of a liquid are held together by a collection of forces, see reference. Physical chemistry is the field which would let you calculate how strong those forces are for a particular molecule, and therefore how much kinetic energy each molecule must have to break those bonds and move more freely as a gas. For bromine, at 1 atmosphere pressure, that happens to be 332K, well above room temperature.

Mercury and Bromine are two elements that exist in liquid state at room temperature. Mercury is a metal & Bromine is a non-metal.
