What is the melting point of Tungsten?

  1. 2500 degrees

  2. 3410 degrees

  3. 3000 degrees

  4. 4000 degrees

The correct answer is: 3410 degrees

The melting point of tungsten is widely recognized as approximately 3410 degrees Celsius. This high melting point makes tungsten an ideal choice for applications that require materials to withstand extreme temperatures, such as in lighting filaments, aerospace components, and various high-temperature environments. Tungsten's unique properties, including its high density and resistance to thermal expansion, contribute to its extensive use in specialized fields. The other temperatures provided do not accurately reflect tungsten's melting characteristics, as they are either significantly lower or higher than the established value.
