Is it common to see tungsten in the gaseous state?
No. Because tungsten has a high boiling point of 5660 degrees Celsius before it can turn to its gaseous state. At normal room temperature,around 30 degrees Celsius, it is below its melting point of 3410 degrees Celsius, therefore it is more commonly seen as a solid
Is tungsten a metalloid?
Tungsten is a metal.
Periodic table tungsten how was it discovered?
Tungsten was discovered in 1781 by the Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele. He first isolated the compound calcium tungstate from the mineral scheelite, which led to the discovery of tungsten as a new element. Later, in 1783, the Spanish brothers José and Fausto Elhuyar succeeded in isolating tungsten metal by reducing tungstic acid.
Are tungsten rings unscratchable?
Yes. Again, it is very difficult to scratch tungsten rings, but can it happen. Say a mechanic is working on cars all day for years, you will see a few scratches in a couple of years, but thats about it.
Is it nerdy to try and see what state they show on the state quarters?
No actually it is very common. I would. I do not think it's nerdy it's cool! :)
Uses of tungsten?
Tungsten's many alloys have numerous applications, most notably in incandescent light bulb filaments, X-ray tubes (as both the filament and target), and superalloys. Tungsten's hardness and high density give it military applications in penetrating projectiles. Tungsten compounds are most often used industrially as catalysts.
What are darts made from?
Darts come in a variety of materials, weights and grips. The most common metals used in the production of darts are brass, nickel silver and tungsten. Brass is inexpensive and is perfect for the home recreational player and the occasional pub game. Nickel Silver has the same attributes of brass but is tarnish resistant. Tungsten is extremely dense, three times denser than brass & nickel silver, and is popular because of its weight to size ratio resulting in a heavier weight in a smaller mass. If two barrels, one made of brass and one made of tungsten, the same weight were compared you would see that the tungsten barrel is 3 times smaller than the brass barrel. These important features make tungsten the material of choice for the more serious dart shooter.
Is titanium unbreakable?
Tungsten and titanium are both performance metals (both are man-made). Although tungsten is the hardest metal, it is also very brittle. Tungsten can act like ceramic rings at times, as they have the tendency to shatter if they are dropped on a tile or concrete floor. Recently, jewelry manufacturers have been creating tungsten rings that are called "Dura-tungsten." Dura-tungsten is a new mixture that makes tungsten less prone to shattering. Although you do run the risk of shattering your ring if you choose a tungsten ring, they also have their benefits. For example, many men like the heft and weight that tungsten rings provide. They are generally very masculine. Moreover, tungsten rings ARE scratch resistence. These are perfect for men who are in the construction industry as they will not scratch when dinged against heavy machinery, etc. If you do break your tungsten ring, you should check with your jeweler to see if you have a warranty that will replace the ring should that happen. Since jewelers should now the risks associated with owning a tungsten ring, they should have some sort of warranty that covers at least part of the expenses of replacing the ring.

Why does tungsten heat and light up but copper wire does not?
Tungsten has a higher melting point than copper, making it more resistant to heat. When an electric current passes through tungsten, the high resistance causes it to heat up and emit light. Copper, on the other hand, has lower resistance and does not heat up or emit light as significantly when used in electrical applications.
What kind of noun is a state?
The word "state" is a singular, common noun that can be abstract or concrete, depending on use. Examples: As an abstract noun: She was in a state of panic until she found her keys. As a concrete noun: The state of California has many beautiful places to see. The specific states, for example Illinois, Florida etc. are proper nouns and begin with capital letters.
