Hey Scholars!!!
This week is one of our easiest topics we will be covering in Chemistry: The changes in states of matter. For this weeks post try and find a substance with either then lowest melting point or the highest boiling point. The most extreme on each will win a prize. (remind me)
Happy Hunting

The metal with the highest melting point is tungsten, which melts at 6,188 degrees F (3,420 degrees C). But the highest melting point of any substance belongs to carbon, which melts at 6,386 degrees F (3,530 degrees C).
Mercury has the lowest freezing point of any metal -37.96 degrees F (-38.87 degrees C). Helium has the lowest freezing point of all substances -457.96 degrees F (-272.2 degrees C), less than 1 degree above absolute zero.
Carbon (Diamonds) melt at 3,550 degrees C.
