Melting and Boiling Temperatures

The melting point of an element is the temperature at which the transition from the solid phase to the liquid phase occurs. The element with the lowest melting point is Helium (0,95 K). Arsenic sublimates at a temperature of about 886 K, i.e. makes a direct transition from the solid to the gas phase. Carbon has the highest melting point (3823 K).

The boiling point of an element is the temperature at which there is the transition from the liquid to the gas phase. The element with the lowest boiling point is Helium (4,22 K). Tungsten has the highest boiling point (6200 K).

In the following table melting points and boiling points are given in units of the absolute temperature, Kelvin [K]. A temperature of 0 K corresponds to -273,15°C.
