Solution

Metals:

  1. Metal is a natural substance that is malleable, ductile, conductive, shiny, and found in the earth’s crust.
  2. Metals strength is influenced by a number of characteristics, including impact strength, tensile strength, compressive strength, and yield strength

Tungsten:

  1. The word "tungsten" means "heavy stone." It is the strongest metal in the universe, as the name implies.
  2. The color of tungsten metal is grey-white, and it has a shiny finish. Due to its high melting point, it is used to create radiation shields, X-ray tubes, and electric lights.
  3. Out of all pure metals, tungsten has the least thermal expansion coefficient. The strong metallic connections that the 5d electrons create between the tungsten atoms are what give tungsten its low thermal expansion, high melting point, and great tensile strength.
  4. It becomes significantly more durable when steel is alloyed with it in small amounts.
  5. Tungsten is utilized in arc welding in combination with other conductive metals like copper, silver, and others because of its high heat resistance capacity.

Therefore, Tungsten is the strongest metal in the world.
