Given this experimental data, Rutherford naturally considered a planetary-model atom, the Rutherford model of 1911 â electrons orbiting a solar nucleus â however, said planetary-model atom has a technical difficulty.
1 Goldâs melting point is at about 1,943 degrees Fahrenheit, which means you will need temperatures that hot to melt it. 2  Thus, it's very important that you don't just choose any container. 3  In addition to a crucible, you will need a pair of tongs to move the crucible and hold it.
The metals with the highest melting points are tungsten (W), which melts at 3,695 K or 3,422 ÃÂ°C, rhenium (Re), which melts at 3,459 K, osmium (Os), which melts at â¦ 3,306 K, and tantalum (Ta), which melts at 3,290 K. Out of the elemental metals, Pure Tungsten (W) is highest melting metal.
