Given this experimental data, Rutherford naturally considered a planetary-model atom, the Rutherford model of 1911 â electrons orbiting a solar nucleus â however, said planetary-model atom has a technical difficulty.
1 Goldâs melting point is at about 1,943 degrees Fahrenheit, which means you will need temperatures that hot to melt it. 2  Thus, it's very important that you don't just choose any container. 3  In addition to a crucible, you will need a pair of tongs to move the crucible and hold it.
If you're asking about the specific temperature... that is extremely variable depending upon the metal in question. Mercury has the lowest melting point of all metals at â38.8290Â°C (â37.8922Â°F), and tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals at 3422Â°C, (â6192Â°F).
