Fahrenheit decided to substitute mercury for the alcohol because its rate of expansion was more constant and could be used over a wider range of temperatures. Fahrenheit, like Isaac Newton before him, realized that it was more accurate to base the thermometer on a substance that changed consistently based on temperature, not simply the hottest or coldest day of the year like the Florentine models. Mercury also had a much wider temperature range than alcohol. This was contrary to the common thought at the time, promoted by Halley as late as 1693, that mercury could not be used for thermometers due to its low coefficient of expansion. [Pg.106]
