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.
Salt will melt (become liquid) at 801 degrees Celsius, 1074 degrees Kelvin, 1474 degrees Fahrenheit. It will vaporize at 1465 degrees Celsius, 1738 degrees Kelvin, 2669 degrees Fahrenheit. 801 degree Celsius or 1074 Kelvin It will melt when heated above this temp. It will freeze when cooled below this temp.
