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.


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.


Which gaseous product is formed when dilute nitric acid reacts with silver metal in the absence of air?

Let's see.2Ag + 2HNO3 -> 2AgNO3 + H2Looks like that gaseous product is hydrogen gas.


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. If you need more inforation, theres a great tutorial on precious metals if you visit the link at the bottom of the post.


How do you Care for your Tungsten Jewelry?

Get yourself a soft cloth or jewelry polish cloth, which will take care of the annoying prints and smudges. To care for your tungsten ring you can clean it with a mild cleaner and wiped with a smooth, soft rag. You should not store your tungsten ring next to diamonds, as diamonds are the only thing that can really scratch a tungsten ring. If you sense a problem with your tungsten ring, please see your jeweler for repair. Tungsten magnum jewelry requires very little care. Any soft cloth will bring out the original bright finish on these rings. Avoid cleaning with harsh chemicals and do not leave in ultrasonic cleaners for more than two minutes.

Why is steam called water vapor and not water gas?

Steam is called water vapor because it is the gaseous state of water. The term "gas" generally refers to substances that exist in the gaseous state at room temperature and pressure, whereas "vapor" specifically refers to the gaseous form of a substance that is normally a liquid or solid at room temperature and pressure. In the case of water, it is usually a liquid, so its gaseous state is specifically referred to as water vapor.


Why does water appear on a cvupboard above a kettle?

When a kettle boils, some of the water inside goes from the liquid state to the gaseous state and rises because it's hot. What you see on your cupboard is called condensation which happens when a gas is cooled, such as steam (gaseous water), and goes back to the liquid state, hence why you have liquid water up there.

Why does tungsten heat and light up but copper wire does not?

Copper has much less resistance, so the electricity flows thru it with little heat, where as the tungsten resists the flow and generates heat, that you see as light.

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.
