However, three elements, Thorium, Protactinium, and Uranium, have a characteristic terrestrial isotopic composition, and thus their atomic mass given.

Temperature with most liquid elements edit

The temperature ranges at which the most elements are liquid are 2739 - 2742K and 2750 - 2792K (2466 - 2469°C and 2477 - 2518°C; 4471 - 4476°F and 4491 - 4566°F).

Actinium, aluminium, americium, boron, cerium, chromium, cobalt, copper, curium, dysprosium, erbium, gadolinium, germanium, gold, hafnium, holmium, iridium, iron, lanthanum, lutetium, neodymium, neptunium, nickel, palladium, platinum, plutonium, praseodymium, promethium, protactinium, rhodium, ruthenium, scandium, silicon, technetium, terbium, thorium, tin, titanium, uranium, vanadium, yttrium and zirconium are liquid in both ranges. They are joined by beryllium in the lower range, and niobium in the upper.

The four key temperatures in these ranges are respectively, the melting point of iridium , the boiling point of beryllium, the melting point of niobium, and the boiling point of aluminium.
