Which element has the highest boiling point?

ChemistryPhysical Properties

Quick Answer

Tungsten also has the highest boiling point of any element, at about 5,555 °C (10,031 °F). That extraordinary value helps make tungsten useful in extreme-heat environments.

The Full Story

Tungsten does not just have the highest melting point; it also has the highest boiling point among the elements, around 5,555 °C. This extreme thermal stability is a major reason it was used historically in incandescent light-bulb filaments and remains useful in high-temperature engineering. Tungsten’s strong metallic bonding makes it difficult to vaporize. It is one of the key metals for applications where ordinary materials would quickly fail.
