Question

Choose the correct order of melting and boiling points of metals?

• A. Tungsten > Iron > Silver > Gold
• B. Silver > Gold > Iron > Tungsten
• C. Tungsten > Iron > Gold > Silver
• D. Iron > Tungsten > Gold > Silver

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Tungsten > Iron > Gold > Silver

Melting point:- The temperature at which a solid convert to liquid is called melting point and this phase transition from solid to liquid is called melting.

Boiling point:- The temperature at which a liquid convert to gas is called boiling point and this phase transition from liquid to solid is called boiling.

The correct order of melting and boiling point will be Tungsten > Iron > Gold > Silver.

Metals	Melting point	Boiling point
Tungsten	$3414{}^{\circ }C$	$5555{}^{\circ }C$
Iron	$1538{}^{\circ }C$	$2861{}^{\circ }C$
Gold	$1064{}^{\circ }C$	$2836{}^{\circ }C$
Silver	$961{}^{\circ }C$	$2162{}^{\circ }C$
