Multiple Choice
Which metal has the highest melting point among all elements?
A
Copper (Cu)
B
Iron (Fe)
C
Gold (Au)
D
Tungsten (W)
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the melting point of a metal is the temperature at which it changes from solid to liquid, which depends on the strength of the metallic bonds and the structure of the metal.
Recall that among all elements, Tungsten (W) is known for having the highest melting point due to its very strong metallic bonds and high atomic mass.
Compare the melting points of the given metals: Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), and Gold (Au), noting that all have lower melting points than Tungsten.
Recognize that Tungsten's melting point is significantly higher than these metals, making it the metal with the highest melting point among all elements.
Conclude that even though Tungsten is not listed among the options, it is the correct answer when considering all elements.
