8. Metals Generally Have High Melting Points and Boiling Points.
This means that most of the metals melt and vaporise at high temperatures. For example, iron is a metal having a high melting point of 1535°C. This means that solid iron melts and turns into liquid iron (or molten iron) on heating to a high temperature of 1535°C. Copper metal has also a high melting point of 1083°C. There are, however, some exceptions. For example, sodium and potassium metals have low melting points (of less than 100°C). Another metal gallium has such a low melting point that it starts melting in hand (by the heat of our body).
