Periodic table of boiling points explained

The boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid turns to vapor at normal pressure. The noble gases and diatomic gases such as hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen boil far below room temperature, while metals such as tungsten and rhenium boil at several thousand degrees Celsius. Values are in degrees Celsius.

Tungsten (W): 5929.9 °C
Rhenium (Re): 5595.9 °C
Tantalum (Ta): 5457.9 °C
Osmium (Os): 5011.9 °C
Thorium (Th): 4787.9 °C

Lowest values

Helium (He): -268.9 °C
Hydrogen (H): -252.9 °C
Neon (Ne): -246 °C
Nitrogen (N): -195.8 °C
Fluorine (F): -188.1 °C

Frequently asked questions

Which element has the highest boiling point?

Rhenium and tungsten are the highest in this table, boiling at roughly 5600 to 5900 °C.

Which element has the lowest boiling point?

Helium, at about −269 °C (4 K), the lowest of any element.

Why do noble gases boil at such low temperatures?

They exist as single atoms held together only by weak London dispersion forces, so very little energy is needed to separate them.
