Mercury Hg -38.8' Now you could consider Hydrogen to be a metal if you are willing to get creative with the definition of metal. In that case it would be −259.16 °C
The freezing point is 680C

The melting point of cesium is lower than that of sodium. Cesium has a melting point of 28.4°C, while sodium has a melting point of 97.8°C.
Type your answer here... Nonpolar molecules
Molecules with the lowest melting points are typically small, nonpolar molecules. These include gases like noble gases (e.g., helium, neon) or simple hydrocarbons (e.g., methane, ethane) that exhibit weak van der Waals forces. The minimal intermolecular forces in these substances result in lower melting points compared to larger or polar molecules with stronger interactions.

You have to look at the actual structures of each substance in the group. For each individual substance, think of it being multiplied many times, until you have a little "sea" of all one type of molecule. There are three forces that are possibly at work between these identical molecules: Van Der Waals, dipole-dipole, and hydrogen bonding. (You can find definitions for these terms with an online search if you're not sure what they are.) If a substance can participate in hydrogen bonding between two of its molecules (draw a picture of the structure, and then a copy of that structure oriented in such a way that the H of an H-F, H-O, or H-N bond can line up with a non-bonding electron pair on the second molecule) then it will have strong intermolecular forces, needing a lot of energy to break, and by extension a higher melting point. Dipole-Diploe forces, in the absence of hydrogen bonding, are next in line. The lowest melting points of substances occur when there are only Van Der Waals forces at work between the molecules of a substance.
It would be solid before it reached the melting point. If it is liquid, it has already reached the melting point.
Knowing what the options are for the answers would be helpful to know which has the lowest melting point. Without knowing what transition metals are listed in the answers it is hard to know which is correct.
The freezing point and melting point of a substance are the same, so the melting point would also be 52 degrees celsius.
The freezing point is 680C
A rocks melting point would be determined by the highest temperature at which its constituent minerals would melt.
The effect of poorly packed will decrease the melting point.
