Tungsten itself is an element.It has the highest boiling point.
The reason why Tungsten is better than Carbon for filaments is because, Tungsten has a higher melting point. The melting point of Tungsten is 3695 degrees, as where Carbon has a melting point of only 3550 degrees. answered by Brittany :) grade 8 student
the reason that tungsten is better then carbon for light filaments is because the melting point is higher,. the melting point of carbon is only 3550, as where tungstens melting point is 3695
After Carbon (in form of diamond), the element Tungsten (W) has the second highest melting point of 3695 K, 3422 °C, 6192 °F
Carbon has the highest melting point of any element on the Periodic Table. It's melting point is 3823K
Tungsten atomic number is 74. Chemical symbol is is W. It has the highest Melting Point.
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elements_by_melting_point, apparently not: The highest melting point is carbon (graphite) at 3675 degrees celsius; the highst melting point for a metal is 3422 degrees celsius for tungsten (wolfram).According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elements_by_melting_point, apparently not: The highest melting point is carbon (graphite) at 3675 degrees celsius; the highst melting point for a metal is 3422 degrees celsius for tungsten (wolfram).According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elements_by_melting_point, apparently not: The highest melting point is carbon (graphite) at 3675 degrees celsius; the highst melting point for a metal is 3422 degrees celsius for tungsten (wolfram).According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elements_by_melting_point, apparently not: The highest melting point is carbon (graphite) at 3675 degrees celsius; the highst melting point for a metal is 3422 degrees celsius for tungsten (wolfram).
The natural element with the highest melting point is good old Carbon! Its melting point is 3527 degrees, C. The element with the second highest melting point is Tungsten at 3422 degrees, C.
it would be most probably the one element closet to the middle
Tungsten is the metal with the highest melting point at 3695 K, 3422 °C, 6192 °F and Mercury has the lowest metal melting point with 234.32 K, -38.83 °C, -37.89 °F.
Carbon does not have a melting point due to its triple point. The symbol for carbon is C and it has an atomic number of 6.
Tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals
W on the periodic table. the element with the highest melting/boiling point is tungsten.
