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.
In its pure form (24-karat), the melting point of gold in Fahrenheit is 1947.52Â°. In Celsius, it is 1064.18Â°, which will be around 1337.33 K (Kelvin). It is that temperature, wherein the metal gold turns from the solid state to liquid state.
