Hey friend,

Here's your answer :

Tungsten has the property of the highest melting point that is 3695 K, lowest pressure of vapour, and greatest tensile strength out of all the metals. It is very hard in nature. It also has the very high resistance capacity. Because of these properties, it is used as a material for filaments of bulbs.

Hope this helps!!!


ShVa: Forgot high resistance your one mark will be cut in exams!
Shakespeare0856: No..it won't be.... I got that right!!!
ShVa: Oh it wasnt visible between the plethora of characters that you wrote no problem, I will present you with one mark that was taken away from you, you totally deserve it
Shakespeare0856: Hehe.... thanks bro ^_^
