Caesium melts at 28.44oC, which is the lowest known melting point for any metallic element other than Mercury. Certain radioactive elements might have lower melting points if it were possible to collect a large enough quantity of them to actually determine the melting point. For example, the melting point of francium is expected to be lower than that of caesium (but still higher than that of mercury). Also, some alloys melt at low temperatures. A eutectic alloy of sodium and potassium melts at around -12oC, still higher than mercury, but below caesium (and well below either sodium or potassium alone as well).

-38.7 melting point metal?

I believe mercury has that melting point, as it is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature.


Which element is an exception to high melting points for metals?

Mercury is the greatest exception, because it is liquid at room temperature. The metal with the next lowest melting point is gallium.

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.
