The same as with non-metals. The temperature at which liquid turns to gas, or gas to liquid.
Melting (freezing) point: the temperature when the solid metal become a liquid. Boiling point: the temperature when the liquid metal become a gas.
The freezing and boiling points of metals vary depending on the specific metal. For example, the freezing point of iron is around 1,538°C and the boiling point is about 2,861°C. Metals generally have high melting and boiling points compared to non-metals due to their metallic bonding.
A liquid with a lower boiling point will boil quicker because it requires less energy to reach its boiling point compared to a liquid with a higher boiling point.
Gallium has a boiling point of 93°ish F. But mercury is way lower than that. It's a liquid at room temperature.
The temperature at which a liquid boils is called its boiling point.
Boiling Point Elevation
A substance's boiling point is the temperature at which it changes from a liquid to a gas.
The boiling point is usually increased.
This temperature is called the boiling point, and indicates the temperature at which a liquid will assume a gaseous state, given the addition of the heat of vaporization.That is the boiling point.
Mercury is a metal that is a liquid at room temperature (~20 degrees Celsius). It has a melting point of -38.83 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of 356.73 degrees Celsius.
The stronger the intermolecular forces in a liquid, the higher the boiling point. -APEX
