The Gmelin rare earths handbook lists 1522 °C and 1550 °C as two melting points given in the literature, the most recent reference [Handbook on the chemistry and physics of rare earths, vol.12 (1989)] is given with 1529 °C.

A period 3 element is one of the chemical elements in the third row (or period) of the periodic table of the chemical elements.The periodic table is laid out in rows to illustrate recurring (periodic) trends in the chemical behavior of the elements as their atomic number increases: a new row is begun when chemical behavior begins to repeat, meaning that elements with similar behavior fall into ...
Of all metals in pure form, tungsten has the highest melting point (3,422 °C, 6,192 °F), lowest vapor pressure (at temperatures above 1,650 °C, 3,000 °F), and the highest tensile strength. [26] Although carbon remains solid at higher temperatures than tungsten, carbon sublimes at atmospheric pressure instead of melting, so it has no melting ...

The hardness of osmium is moderately high at 4 GPa. [17] [18] [19] Because of its hardness, brittleness, low vapor pressure (the lowest of the platinum-group metals), and very high melting point (the fourth highest of all elements, after carbon, tungsten, and rhenium), solid osmium is difficult to machine, form, or work.
Although the distilled rubidium was pyrophoric, they were able to determine the density and the melting point. The quality of this research in the 1860s can be appraised by the fact that their determined density differs by less than 0.1 g/cm 3 and the melting point by less than 1 °C from the presently accepted values.

Naturally occurring neodymium (60 Nd) is composed of five stable isotopes— 142 Nd, 143 Nd, 145 Nd, 146 Nd and 148 Nd, with 142 Nd being the most abundant (27.2% of the natural abundance)—and two radioisotopes with extremely long half-lives, 144 Nd (alpha decay with a half-life (t 1/2) of 2.29 × 10 15 years) and 150 Nd (double beta decay, t ...
