Question:

Quartz has one atom of silicon for every tow atoms of______?

fill in the blank haha i am really confused xD

Answer:

I don't know do I look like a spaceman to you?
quartz's chemical formula is SiO2, mercury is not reactive enough to replace the silicon in quartz to start a reaction, unless there is some sort of catalyst present. (look up on metal's reactivity series) the flash of light you saw is probably reflection of light from mercury or quartz
