How reactive is tungsten the element?
Tungsten is very inert compared to most elements. This gives it the high boiling point that makes it suitable for applications like making water heater coils and bulb filaments.
Why do people have tunsten in their homes?
Tungsten? I believe they still make light bulb filaments out of tungsten because of it's strength and resistivity.
What element are light bulb filaments made out of?

How does bulb glow?
When current passes through the filaments, they get super hot and give out a glow. Mostly these filaments are made out of tungsten as they cool down fast.
What are light bulb filaments?
Usually Tungsten. Carbon filaments were used first, but scientists found that tungsten works for a far longer time period. Unfortunately, most filaments designed today don't last near as long as the bulb is rated at. Just put a dated replacement sticker on a light bulb and see when the next time you replaced it how long it went. You will be surprised.
How many filaments did it take Thomas Edison to create the light bulb?
238, until he settled upon tungsten.
