metal
Tungsten does not oxidize easily at room temperature due to its high melting point and resistance to corrosion. However, at high temperatures or in the presence of oxygen, tungsten can form tungsten oxides.
Mixing rhenium into tungsten improves its high-temperature strength and resistance to wear and corrosion. This alloy is commonly used in aerospace and defense applications where these properties are critical for performance.
The density of solid tungsten (near room temperature) is 19.25 g·mL−1.
Tungsten has the highest ignition temperature of any metal, at around 6,192°F (3,422°C).
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.
solid
SolidTin is solid at room temperature.
Mercury and Tungsten

Tungsten has a body-centered cubic (BCC) crystal structure at room temperature and pressure. In this structure, each tungsten atom is located at the center of a cube, with eight neighboring atoms at the corners.
It depends on the metal. As an example mercury (Hg) is liquid or molten at room temperature. Gallium becomes molten at just slightly above room temperature. Tungsten on the other hand has a very high melting temperature.
The density of solid tungsten (near room temperature) is 19.25 g·mL−1.
This would not be gas, these boil at temperatures below room temperature. Such a high temperature indicates a compound such as a carbide, the highest melting element is tungsten.
