Tungsten is an element that gets very little attention in day-to-day life, but this important element is used for everything from the household incandescent light bulb to radiation shielding. It has the chemical abbreviation W and atomic number 74, and tungsten is one of the elements known by it Latin name - in this case, wolfram, hence the reason for its chemical abbreviation.

This element is a member of the transition metals and sits in the same periodic table column as chromium and molybdenum. In fact, tungsten is the heaviest member of this group and has an atomic mass of 183 grams per mole.

Properties of Tungsten:-

Tungsten is a solid at room temperature and possesses the highest known melting point and lowest vapor pressure of any metals. It also has the highest tensile strength known. Furthermore, due to tungsten's excellent corrosion resistance, it is highly resilient to attack by acids.

The element takes on a grayish to white appearance, and like all other metals, tungsten is malleable. It is quite ductile and can be readily drawn into a wire. However, it's much more easily pressed out than most other metals. Due to its high class properties, tungsten is able to be used in a host of real-world applications.
