Key Stage 3
Meaning
Tungsten is a transition metal element, on the Periodic Table, with an atomic number of 74.
About Tungsten
Molecular Structure
- Tungsten has the chemical symbol W.
- Tungsten atoms join together in large numbers to form a giant metal molecule.
Atomic Structure
- Tungsten as 74 protons and 108 neutrons in its nucleus giving it an Atomic Number of 74 and an atomic mass of 184.
- Tungsten is in Period 6 of the Periodic Table because it has 6 electron shells.
Properties
