Melting Point of the Elements

Unit

The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid at a given pressure. At this temperature, the solid and liquid phases exist in equilibrium. The reverse transition temperature is the freezing point, though supercooling can cause the observed freezing point to appear lower.

Data available for 110 of 118 elements. Highest: Carbon (3823 K). Lowest: Helium (0.95 K).
