Metals generally melt at very high temperature. Amongst the following, the metal with the highest melting point will be

(A)Hg
(B)Ag✓ Correct
(C)Ga
(D)Cs

Answer: (B)

Solution

Among the given options, Hg (mercury), Ga (gallium), and Cs (cesium) are liquid or have very low melting points near room temperature. Silver (Ag) is a solid metal with a significantly higher melting point (961°C) compared to the others. Therefore, Ag has the highest melting point.
