Very high. For example, sodium (Na) has a boiling point of 883 degrees C, and iron has a boiling point of 2750.0 degrees C, and gold has a boiling point of 2600 degrees C. You can probably find a Period Table that includes the boiling points of all the elements and much more information.

∙ 9y agoIt varies, depending on the metal. There are lots of different types of metal all with different properties.
Boiling is a term which is related to pressure and temperature. where molecules of the substance tranforms from liquid phase to solid phase is called as the boiling. On Earth atmospheric pressure is considered as 1 ATM and hence gases trapped under normal conditions in the liquied causes to escape from the liquid without condesating. (As metal molecules are heavy in density so they condensate quickly. So Boiling point of metal at nominal atmosperic pressure virtually do not exists.

∙ 8y agoNo, Mercury melts well below the freezing temperature of water and gallium melts just below body temperature.
There are several alloys that will melt at temperatures below the boiling temperature of water.

∙ 8y agoNo, some metals have such a low melting point they are liquid at room temperature - mercury. Others are almost liquid at room temperature such as gallium. All the alkali metals have low meting points. At the other extreme are metals such as Tungsten which has a high melting point. Metals vary greatly.

∙ 10y agoYes, melting points of metals are higher than the melting points of many other elements or compounds.

∙ 13y agoyes all metals have high melting points :)

∙ 7y agoGenerally metals have higher melting and boiling points than nonmetals; but differences among metals are important.

Do most transition metals have higher or lower melting points than the representative elements?
Yes, transition metals have higher melting points. This is due to having very strong bonds. This means that a larger amount of energy is needed in order to break them down or bring them to the melting points.
What is true about transition metals?
Transition metals are elements that also have the properties of metals. All of them have high heat conductivity, low ionization energies and high melting points. Examples of transition metals are vanadium, nickel, and zinc.
What is Light weight with high melting point in group 2 of elements?
all group 2 metals are light weight with high melting points beryllium however has the highest melting point due to the low number of electrons shielding the nucleus fro the delocalised atoms
Does metal have a low or high boiling point?
Seeing as metals are solid at room temperature (except for mercury, which is a liquid), and heating metals causes them to become liquid (melt, which is the melting point). Then the boiling point of metals is going to be extremely high.
Highest melting points of all metals?
Of all the metals, the one with the highest melting point is tungsten, with a melting point of 6,192 degrees Fahrenheit. Rhenium comes in second with a melting point of 5,767 degrees Fahrenheit.
All metals are hard and have high melting points?
No, the alkali metals are pretty soft and the metals cesium, gallium, and mercury have very low melting points.
Why all crystals have high melting points?
because all crystals are metals .
Does a metal have a high or low melting point?
All metals have different melting points but they are all high
Is there a metal that won't melt?
No, all metals melt. Though some have extremely high melting points.
Do have nonmetals have high melting points?
Yes non metals do have high melting and boiling points. This is because they have strong intemolecular forces that are hard to overcome.A2. Their melting points vary. Obviously gases such as nitrogen and oxygen have low melting points, but Silicon (1414oC) and Diamond ( around 1700oC) are rather high. Phosphorous and Sulfur on the other hand are rather low.
Does all metal melt?
yes all metals melt but at differenttemperatures some have low and some have high melting points
Do metals have definite melting points?
Yes, all metals have definite melting points. Most, under earths atmospheric pressure, have very high (hot) melting points, but mercury is liquid at room temperature. Mercury begins to "melt" from it's solid form at 39 degrees below zero!
Do metals have a high melting point?
No, not all of them, but some of them do.
Do most transition metals have higher or lower melting points than the representative elements?
Yes, transition metals have higher melting points. This is due to having very strong bonds. This means that a larger amount of energy is needed in order to break them down or bring them to the melting points.
What are the special characteristic of metal and non metal?
Metals are often hard. They conduct both heat and electricity. They often have high densities, high melting points, and high boiling points. And always loose electrons when bonding. Non-metals are the opposite of all the above characteristics.
Which have the high melting pointmetal or metaloids or transitionmetal?
Usually the transition metals. (Tungsten has the highest melting point of all the metals.)
Do all metals have low boiling points?
First of all I would like to say that Metals usually have very high melting and boiling points. If you really find no mistake in this question then the answer is certainly NO. But if you feel now that the question is wrong and it would be "non metals" in place of "metals" then the answer would certainly be Yes.
