-Tungsten has the lowest vapor pressure.
-Producing tungsten is difficult because tungsten has a high melting point.
-Tungsten is known as one of the toughest things found in nature.
-Tungsten is super dense and also impossible to melt.
-Since tungsten is strong and durable, it is used in many different ways.

Tungsten belongs to group 6, which is called the chromium metals. This family of elements also includes chromium, molybdenum, and seaborgium.

Tungsten is a chemical element with a symbol W and an atomic number of 74. Tungsten is present in many metal alloys. It is in period 6 because it has exactly 6 atomic orbitals.

Tungsten can be used for filaments, which are wires or threads that can conduct part of a light bulb. High speed steel (a steel that can cut material at higher speeds than carbon steel), contains about 18% tungsten. Tungsten is often used in heavy metal alloys (mixtures of different metals), because of its hardness and high-temperature resistance. Tungsten carbide (contains equal parts of tungsten and carbon), is used to make drills and jewelry.

This element's name comes from a swedish origin. 'Tungsten' means heavy stone. !779, Irish chemist named Peter Woulfe found the new element named tungsten. He found this element when analyzing a mineral called wolframite. But, Woulfe wasn't able to reduce the oxide in the metal. In 1783, Fausto and Juan Jose de Elhuyar were finally able to isolate tungsten in Spain.

Tungsten is normally in a solid state. It is classified as a "transition metal." Heat can change the state of matter, but it will take a super high temperature to do so.

Tungsten is abundant in Earth’s crust. But, tungsten is not found free in nature. The main components of tungsten are wolframite and scheelite. The way you get the metal is by reducing tungsten oxide with hydrogen or carbon. Tungsten is one of the rare elements.
People are exposed to tungsten by both natural processes and human industrial activities. Tungsten can be found in seawater and very small concentrates of tungsten can be found in the atmosphere.
