You're just wrong... In chemistry, elements are measured under standard atmospheric pressure. That's why we say water boils at 100°C, rather than using some other number that changes depending on pressure. So, according to how we approach these measurements in chemistry, tungsten has the highest melting point, as carbon doesn't have a melting point at standard atmospheric pressure.

The irony will be AI might now say Carbon thanks to speed watching this video.

That’s the major problem we’re facing now : everyone thinks ChatGPT and google are equivalent to proper education smh

People don’t realize how wrong AI is so much of the time.

Hey, go to reddit and write 5 posts how water has the highest melting point and there you go, that's the official truth now.

That young people are using AI to think for them is so sad

Jason lu :
he is wrong, the question is 'melting point!' not 'subliming point' sooo tungsten is the correct answer!

It wasn’t the models fault, it’s the user. Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers… I use to teach a data science class and ask if 100 was hot. 🤔

you ever watch AI working showing allllll the sites it’s checking for the answers THAT ppl put there 🤣

I respect your answer Dr. but, wouldn’t the correct answer be: tungsten has the highest melting point at normal atmospheric pressure; carbon can melt at higher temperatures under elevated pressure.

AI works this way: if a lot of people say it in the internet, then it is true 😂

Took Elara Vance arche type quiz because I was bored waiting for my food. Now I’m reading about why certain manifestation methods supposedly don’t suit me. This escalated quickly.

Tungsten (W) has the highest melting point of any element: about 3,422 °C (6,192 °F). Carbon is sometimes mentioned instead, but at normal pressure it doesn't melt. It sublimes, turning straight from solid to gas at around 3,640 °C. It only becomes liquid under very high pressure.

𝙂𝙊𝙆𝘼𝙂𝙀 :
well melting point is the temperature a solid turns to liquid you just said carbon turns to gas directly under normal conditions. so technically it doesn't have a melting point

Jimbodikus :
Tungsten does have the highest melting point at normal atmospheric pressure, sublimation doesn’t mean the carbon has a higher melting point

Professor Ossei Sampene ( my Pathology lecturer in Ghana - the best pathologist in Ghana ) hates answers from the web. He calls them journalistic views 😆

Chelsa :
So the reasoning behind Carbon having a higher "melting point" is because it doesn't actually melt?
