Blake"The measured densities of iridium and osmium seem to indicate that osmium is slightly more dense than iridium, so osmium has generally been credited with being the heavier element. Calculations of the density from the space lattice which may be more reliable for these elements than actual measurements, however, give a density of 22.65 for iridium compared to 22.661 for osmium. Despite this information, no decision has been made as to which is heavier." " Melting Point: 3033 C " (Los Alamos National Laboratory's Chemistry Division - home page) ---- " Density @ 293 K: 22.40 g/cm3 melting point: 3318.2 K " (http://www.chemicool.com/) The density of pure osmium is 22.661 g/cm3
To the nearest degree, the melting point of osmium (that is, the point at which it ceases to become a solid and becomes a liquid) is 3033 degrees Celsius. This is equal (to within a degree of precision) to 5491 degrees Fahrenheit, or 3306 degrees Kelvin.
At any point lower than this, osmium becomes a solid again.

Is osmium flammable?
Osmium itself is not flammable, but osmium tetroxide, a compound of osmium, is highly reactive and can ignite in air. Osmium metal is very inert and has a high melting point, making it not prone to catching fire under normal conditions.
Freezing point is the point at which a liquid turns into a solid What effect can change the freezing point?
Changing the pressure can affect the freezing point of a substance. Generally, an increase in pressure will lower the freezing point, while a decrease in pressure will raise the freezing point. The presence of solutes or impurities in the liquid can also change the freezing point.
What is oxygen's freezing point?
oxygen's freezing point is 222.65 degrees Celsius
What is the cerium freezing point?
The freezing point of cerium is 798 degrees Celsius or 1468 degrees Fahrenheit.
Does salt affect the temperature of water -boiling point - freezing point?
Yes, salt affects the freezing point of water by lowering it, making it take longer to freeze. However, it does not affect the boiling point of water under normal conditions.
