Yes, water (ice) has been found on Mercury. To read more on NASA's findings, check out the related link below.
The water on the planet Mercury exists as ice, at the bottom of craters near the poles. These places are in permanent shadow, so the Sun can't heat them.
There is no LIQUID WATER on Mercury: the lack of an atmosphere, the solar wind, and the vast surface temperature differences prevent the formation of oceans as on Earth.
The surface temperature of Mercury is too hot for water to exist in a liquid state. but there is water in its solide state near the poles. this is due to the fact that even though mercury is very close to the sun mercury still is pretty cold near the poles
Mercury is a rocky planet with a thin atmosphere, so there is very little hydrogen present. Some hydrogen may exist in water ice in the permanently shadowed regions of the planet's poles, but overall the abundance of hydrogen on Mercury is very low compared to gas giants like Jupiter or Saturn.
It is not yet clear, since the MESSENGER orbiting probe has only studied the planet since early 2011. However, reflectivity from the polar regions seems to indicate large quantities of ice, permanently frozen deep inside craters. This would have come from the impacts of icy asteroids and small comets.
Well, they reckon they could find water on Mercury now, in the form of ice, in shadowed crater walls at the poles. So the answer to your question must be yes.
There is no significant amount of water on Mercury.
There is evidence that there may be some water at the Poles, in the form of ice.

How did Antoine Lavoisier recognized hydrogen?
he, like found it in a suit case with like Zacharaist and stuff
Which substance has the highest density at room temperature out of water hydrogen and oxygen?
mercury
Can mercury wet a substance?
Mercury is a metal unlike water which have hydrogen bonding. Mercury does not wet most substances, because of its high cohesion and low adhesion to the glass mercury will not wet glass. Cohesion, along with adhesion(attraction between unlike molecules), can help explain mercury phenomena. Mercury has a surface energy over 6 times greater than that of water so there is a much greater attractive force between the atoms of mercury than between the molecules of water, so mercury does not wet glass.
Which of the following elements is commonly found in the Earth's crust living matter oceans and atmosphere hydrogen mercury neon and argon?
Hydrogen is the element commonly found in the Earth's crust, living matter, oceans, and atmosphere. Mercury, neon, and argon are also found in various environments, but hydrogen is the most abundant element in these specific areas.
Does mercury have any gases?
Mercury has a thin atmosphere that is made up of many gases, including: hydrogen, helium, oxygen, calcium, potassium, sodium and water vapor. Mercury is the smallest planet.
How much chlorine gas is there on mercury?
There isn't any. Mercury's atmosphere is pretty much non-existent, but it may have some of these gaseous elements: Oxygen, Sodium, Hydrogen, Helium, Potassium.
What is HgHCO32?
HgHCO3 is the chemical formula for mercury(I) bicarbonate, which is a compound formed from mercury, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. This compound is unstable and can easily decompose to form other mercury compounds.

mercury bromide
Is mercury made up of hydrogen?
No. Mercury is made of rock with a metallic core.
What is gas like?
Mercury is made up of Helium, Hydrogen, and other gases Mercury is made up of Helium, Hydrogen, and other gases
What are mercury's atmospheric gases?
Hydrogen, Helium
What is the surface atmosphere of Mercury?
Mercury has only a trace atmopshere of hydrogen that is almost null.
What does sugar and mercury contain?
Sugar consists of oxygen, hydrogen and carbon. However, Mercury is an element- it contains mercury. No connection.
What is the compound name of Hg2SO4?
The compound name of Hg2SO4 is mercury(I) sulfate.
Which will sink in mercury lead ice or hydrogen and why?
To answer this question you need to know the densities of the substances Mercury = 13.534 g/cm3 Lead = 11.34 g/cm3 ice = 0.9167 g/cm3 Hydrogen = (which is a gas) = 0.00008988 g/cm3 The rule is that anything that is of lesser density will float in anything that has a greater density. Thus, none of these will sink in mercury.
