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
Tungsten has a high melting point of 3,422°C, making it one of the highest melting point elements. Tungsten is often mixed with carbon to form tungsten carbide, which has an even higher melting point of over 2,800°C.
Tungsten steel does not have a specific melting point, as it is an alloy mixture of tungsten and other metals such as carbon or nickel. However, pure tungsten has a melting point of 3422°C (6192°F), making it one of the metals with the highest melting points.
After Carbon (in form of diamond), the element Tungsten (W) has the second highest melting point of 3695 K, 3422 °C, 6192 °F
Tungsten has a high melting point of 3422°C, which allows it to withstand the high temperatures produced when an electric current passes through the filament, without melting. This property helps the filament to emit light efficiently and have a longer lifespan.
Tungsten atomic number is 74. Chemical symbol is is W. It has the highest Melting Point.
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.
The element with the highest melting point in its group is carbon. Specifically, graphite has the highest melting point among the carbon allotropes, which is higher than the melting points of other elements in its group.
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 element with a melting point of 1410 degrees Celsius is tungsten. Tungsten is a transition metal with the highest melting point of all elements.
I think it is tungsten (W), which melts at 3,695
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.
