Why do refractory metals have high melting points? | Socratic
Refractory metals have high melting points because they have strong electrostatic bonds. The refractory metals are niobium, molybdenum, tantalum, tungsten and rhenium which have melting points over 2750K. Melting occurs when the thermal vibrations of atoms overcomes the bonds holding the solid crystal together. Technically the amplitude of the vibration exceeds …
