What melts at 8000 degrees Celsius to 12000 degrees Celsius?

Answer 1

tungsten

Answer 2

Materials with melting points in that temperature range include tungsten (melting point of 3422°C), iridium (melting point of 2446°C), and osmium (melting point of 3033°C). These metals have high melting points and could withstand temperatures within the given range without melting.

Answer 3

With a temperature like that, the better question would be what doesn't melt. 12K Celsius is hotter then the surface of the sun, you'd have a hard time finding anything that could withstand that.

In fact, 8000ºC is hotter than the Sun's surface: 5000ºC. All known elements would be vapour at these temperatures.

Answer 4

All of them. Elements don't break down chemically due to temperature.

Oxygen, for example, is a gas at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure. At 2000 degrees and standard pressure, it's still a gas. No change.

Answer 5

Generally speaking, anything that is a solid at room temperature has a melting point above room temperature.

Answer 6

The boiling point of beryllium is 2 469 oC.

Answer 7

well aluminum melts at 660

Answer 8

SCANDIUM

Answer 9

nothing

Answer 10

Tungsten
