Melting Point of Uranium (U) [& Color, Sources, Discovery ... 2022

One of the most important (and useful) physical properties is the melting point. All atoms will 'melt' at some point, even Uranium. Ok but what is the melting point of an atom of U?

In the case of Uranium the melting point is 1132°C. Now let's look at other properties and facts about Uranium...
