The melting temperature of tungsten is 3422° C. If you can somehow prepare a
sample of water at that temperature, more power to you, your tungsten will melt
in it.

Can the sun melt tungsten?
Yes when it is at the suns surface
What element has the highest melting and boiling points of all element?
Water it can melt in the boiling point and in the boiling point the water (ice) practically turns into a liquid (water) then into a gas
Why tungsten is used in filament bulb?
It conducts electricity and has a very high melting point, thus it will not melt in high temperatures in light bulbs. In fact, tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals, at about 3400 degrees celcius.
Why are filament wires made up of Tungsten?
Tungsten, or wolfram, has the highest melting point of any non-alloy metal and the second highest of all the elements after carbon. When a current passes through a filament that is made from tungsten, the metal heats up to a point that it emits light. The tungsten reaches a very high temperature, noticable because of the bright light it then emits, but it does not melt.
Can soapy water melt?
as it is water already it cannot melt but will evaporate whether or not it is soapy or regular water
Can the sun melt tungsten?
Yes when it is at the suns surface
What should be the conductor of the curcuit so the filament doesn't melt?
Tungsten
What element has the highest melting and boiling points of all element?
Water it can melt in the boiling point and in the boiling point the water (ice) practically turns into a liquid (water) then into a gas
What degree does tungsten alloy melt?
Heat it to a temperature somewhat above 3,400 degrees Kelvin.
Why can't the tungsten fildament melt?
actually its is filament.now the answertungsten has high melting point.
What metal would not melt on mercury?
There are several such as Tungsten a metal used in electric bulbs.
What temperature is it when you melt metal?
Different metals melt at different temperatures, from -39 deg C (mercury) to 3414 deg C (tungsten).
Why is tungsten used for lightbulbs?
that is because it has a and a high melting point so it does not melt easily when heated.
Is tungsten soluble?
Wolfram (tungsten) is not soluble in water but is soluble in aqua regia.
Is copper wire the same as thugsten wire?
No. Copper wire is made of the element copper. Tungsten wire is made of the element tungsten. Copper wire is made to conduct electricity. Tungsten wire is made for the filament in light bulbs as tungsten does not melt under even very high temperatures.
Can you actually say water can melt do you not have to be a solid to MELT?
If you are a solid, you melt. If you are a liquid, like water, you vaporize.
How hot does it have to be to melt?
You need to define "metal"- since different metals have VERY different melting points. Mercury is melted at room temp. Gallium can melt in boiling water. Lead and tin are mixed as solder, and melt at fairly low temps. Gold and silver melt at moderate low temps. Aluminum is higher. Steels and hi temperature tungsten alloys will glow white hot before melting. So- which metal did you have in mind
