Boiling point chart

The boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas at normal atmospheric pressure. The chart shows it in degrees Celsius; the table also gives kelvin and Fahrenheit.

Values marked * are predictions for superheavy elements made only a few atoms at a time. They are left out of the colour scale and the rankings.

The trend

Boiling points follow the same broad pattern as melting points: highest among the transition metals in the middle of the table, lowest for the noble gases and the gaseous nonmetals on the right. Rhenium and tungsten boil above 5,500 °C, while helium boils at −269 °C, only about 4 degrees above absolute zero. Eleven elements are gases at room temperature.
