Does metal have a low or high boiling point?

Answer 1

Seeing as metals are solid at room temperature (except for Mercury, which is a liquid), and heating metals causes them to become liquid (melt, which is the melting point). Then the boiling point of metals is going to be extremely high.

Answer 2

well it depends on the type of non metals some have high and some have low

for example:- nitrogen has a low melting point and thus it is typically a gas at ambient temperatures

another example:- plastic has a melting point slightly above room temperature.

Answer 3

Depends entirely on the metal. Gold, silver,copper, tin and lead melt at a lower temperature than some metals. Iron requires a higher temperature, but all require what he would think of as a high temperature to melt them. An exception is Mercury (Quicksilver) which has a melting point so low that it is liquid at room temperature.

First sentence it the best answer. Mercury is a liquid metal at room temperature. Gallium has a low melting point as do several other metals.

Answer 4

Most metals do not have a low melting point. Only mercury has a really low melting point. It is a molten liquid at room temperature. It really depends on the metal, though. Gold, silver, copper, tin and lead melt at a lower temperature than some metals.

Answer 5

no metals such as mercury have low melting point

Answer 6

Transition Metals are considered to have high melting points.

Answer 7

high melting points

Answer 8

metals have a high boiling point
