Well honey, tungsten tastes like a metal, because that's exactly what it is. It's used in light bulbs and heating elements, not gourmet dishes. So unless you're into chomping on light bulbs, I suggest you stick to more appetizing options.
No, tungsten is not a semiconductor. Tungsten is a metal known for its high melting point and resistance to corrosion. Semiconductors are materials that have conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator, like silicon or germanium.
Tungsten has a medium to high luster, shines like silver
The W stands for "Wolfram" which is an alternative name for the metallic element Tungsten. One of the chief ores from which Tungsten is extracted is called Wolframite.
That's tungsten. Wikipedia has more in their post on this amazing metal. A link to it is below.
Tungsten has a smooth, metallic texture.
This is like asking 'how much tungsten do I have?' Perhaps you are asking about density or some other property of tungsten.
For Tungsten it is W+3 or W+6.

In the context of tungsten carbide, the solute is tungsten carbide itself (the solid compound of tungsten and carbon) and the solvent would be the medium in which tungsten carbide is dissolved, which is typically a liquid like cobalt or nickel in the case of cemented carbide materials.
Yes. Very much like it.
Tungsten has a medium to high luster, shines like silver
No. Tungsten is an element, where as tungsten carbide is an alloy, or a mixture of elements (tungsten, nickel, tantalum, niobium, titanium, and chromium). Tungsten carbide is much easier to work into styles and designs, but does not change the hardness of the metal.
Tungsten is a metal.
No, they do not taste like chicken. They most likey taste like blood vessels.
The W stands for "Wolfram" which is an alternative name for the metallic element Tungsten. One of the chief ores from which Tungsten is extracted is called Wolframite.
Standard tungsten carbide rings can be purchased at many jewelry stores. Places like Zales, Walmart and Jared are such stores that carry tungsten carbide rings.
