2. o Peter Woulfe gathered the existence of Tungsten from his analysis of wolframite in 1779. o Tungsten was isolated as tungstic oxide by Carl W. Scheele from scheelite in 1781. But he did not have a reason furnace to reduce the oxide to metal. o Tungsten was lastly isolated in 1783 by two chemist and brothers in Spain, Fausto and Juan Jose de Elhuyar. They did this by reduction of acidified wolframite with charcoal. o The name “Tungsten” means heavy stone.

3. o The word “Tungsten” comes from the words “Tung” and “Sten”. Those are Swedish words. They mean heavy stone. o Tungsten carbide was used by Osram, a German company. This was used in place of diamond drawing dies. o During World War 2, Tungsten carbide was needed for its weaponry production.

4. o Tungsten has been used by porcelain makers in China more than 350 years ago. They integrated a peach color in their designs by using a tungsten pigment. o During World War 2

5.  Symbol: W  Atomic Number: 74  Atomic Mass: 183.84 amu  Color: silver white

6.  Boiling Point: 5660°C  Melting Point: 3410°C  At room temperature it is a solid.  Its classified as a metal.  It conducts electricity.  When mixed Thorium it becomes radioactive, and is dangerous to anyone who is exposed to it.  Also has the ability to shield radiation.

7.  The dust of tungsten is flammable.  The dust of tungsten is explosive.  It does corrode if temperatures are above 400°C.  Tungsten reacts with halogens- fluorine and chlorine.  Tungsten doesn’t react with air, water, acids, and bases.

8. o Tungsten has/are used for… Filaments for incandescent light bulbs, fluorescent light bulbs, and television tubes Jewelry Used as a target for X-ray production Heating elements in electric furnaces Parts of spacecraft and missiles

9.  Symbol is from Wolfram.  Latin- Wolframium  Swedish- Volfram  French- Tungstene  Portuguese- Tungstenio  Has the highest melting point and boiling point of all metals.  Has the lowest vapor pressure.  Western Europe owns 30% of the worlds Tungsten, North America and China own 25%, Japan owns 13%. The remaining resources are in smaller countries.  Wolframite means “the devourer of tin”.  Pure Tungsten is soft and Tungsten Carbide is extremely hard.
