2022: ☢️ Density of Tungsten (W) [& g/cm3, kg/m3, Uses, Sources ...

Everything has mass and volume, and therefore density. So it is expected that the smallest piece of matter, like an atom of Tungsten has it too. But what is the density of an atom of W?

Note: Learn more about the density here.

In the case of Tungsten , density is 19.3 g/cm³. However, there are interesting facts about Tungsten that most don't know about. Also check the kg/m³ conversion...

Tungsten Data

Tungsten Density g/cm³

19.3 g/cm³

kg/m³

19300 kg/m³

State at 20 °C

Solid

Uses

Made into filaments for vacuum tubes and electric lights. Also as contact points in cars. Combined with calcium or magnesium it makes phosphors. Tungsten carbide is extremely hard and is used for making cutting tools and abrasives.

Atomic Mass

183,84

Sources

Occurs in the minerals scheelite (CaWO4) and wolframite [(Fe,Mn)WO4].

Atomic Number

74

Atomic Symbol

W

Name Origin

Swedish: tung sten (heavy stone): symbol from its German name wolfram.

Discovery

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Density of Tungsten (W) [& g/cm3, kg/m3, Uses, Sources ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
