Metals that are still solid at 1,000c? ?

Question

Is this even possible?

Answer 1

Uranium & Tungsten for two.

You can get physical characterisitcs of elements

Answer 2

Yes.  In fact, Tungsten (the thing that makes up the filament in your lightbulbs) melts at over 3000 C.

Answer 3

Tungsten melts at 3422 C. That's the wire light bulb filament is made out of.

Answer 4

there are. complex alloys are so hard that they do not melt even at high temps.

Answer 5

Tungsten, W, melts at 3695 K (3422 °C, 6192 °F). It is a covalent network solid (many bonds of the same atom). These bonds are the strongest and hardest to break and (melt).  

Tungsten also has the noble gas configuration [Xe] 4f14 5d4 6s2.

That's 74 electrons per tungsten atom! Take into account the bonds of several tungsten atoms and all these electrons and you have a strong solid.
