Sodium - group 1
group 1
It depends upon the element. Mercury is liquid at room temperature, and the melting point of aluminum is much lower than the melting point of iron.
Carbon has the highest melting point of any element on the Periodic Table. It's melting point is 3823K
The closest element to this melting point is radium with a melting point of 700 degrees Celsius. It is a 2A alkaline metal with 2 valence electrons and is highly reactive.
Size shape and melting points are the characteristics of any element in the periodic table. However; the shape and size of an element have some effect on its melting property.
Boron Family (13) - do not occur elementally in nature - are scarce in nature (except aluminum, which is the most abundant metallic element) - have three valence electrons - are metallic (except boron, which is a solid metalloid) - are soft and have low melting points (except boron, which is hard and has a high melting point) - are chemically reactive at moderate temperatures (except boron)

Gallium
W on the periodic table. the element with the highest melting/boiling point is tungsten.
Melting point of (metallic) Zinc is 419.53 °C, 692.68 K, 787.15 °F

Boron Family (13) - do not occur elementally in nature - are scarce in nature (except aluminum, which is the most abundant metallic element) - have three valence electrons - are metallic (except boron, which is a solid metalloid) - are soft and have low melting points (except boron, which is hard and has a high melting point) - are chemically reactive at moderate temperatures (except boron)
Depending on the position of an element on the periodic table, one can know if it is a gas, liquid or metal. With that information, predicting the melting point is easy.
