Does a metal burn when it gets higher than its melting point?

No. Metals do not burn, only melt.


Do most metals have a higher melting point than nonmetals?

Yes, most metals have higher melting points than nonmetals. This is because metals have a lattice structure of positively charged ions surrounded by a sea of delocalized electrons. The strong metallic bonds between the atoms require more energy to break, resulting in higher melting points compared to the comparatively weaker intermolecular forces in nonmetals.

Melting temperature of metal?

The melting points of metals would depend on the metal itself- different metals have different melting points. A website is available under "related link" which contains information about the melting points of different metals.
