Boiling and Melting Points of Elements
- Highest Boiling Point: Tungsten (W) has the highest boiling point at approximately 5,555°C (10,031°F).
- Lowest Melting Point: Helium (He) exhibits the lowest melting point at -272.2°C (-458°F), remaining liquid at absolute zero under standard atmospheric pressure.
- Material with Higher Boiling Point than Lead: Tantalum (Ta) has a boiling point of around 5,458°C (9,800°F), much higher than lead’s boiling point of 1,749°C (3,180°F).
- Highest Melting Point Element: Carbon (C) in the form of diamond has an extremely high melting point of about 3,550°C (6,422°F).
- Metal with Closest Boiling Point to Melting Point: Mercury (Hg) has a boiling point of 356.7°C (673.1°F) and a melting point of -38.83°C (-37.89°F), making the difference relatively small.
- Lowest Difference Between Melting and Boiling Points: Water (H2O) has a melting point of 0°C (32°F) and a boiling point of 100°C (212°F), resulting in a difference of 100°C.
