Top 10 Elements With Lowest Boiling Points


Important Facts

The element does not have any stable nuclides and a value in brackets, e.g. [209], indicates the mass number of the longest-lived isotope of the element. However, four elements, bismuth, thorium, protactinium and uranium, have a characteristic terrestrial isotopic composition, and thus their standard atomic weights are given.
    

The isotopic composition of this element varies in some geological specimens, and the variation may exceed the uncertainty.
    

The isotopic composition of the element can vary in commercial materials, which can cause the atomic weight to deviate significantly from the given value.
    

The isotopic composition varies in terrestrial material such that a more precise atomic weight can not be given.
   

The atomic weight of commercial lithium can vary between 6.939 and 6.996—analysis of the specific material is necessary to find a more accurate value.
    

Does not solidify at 1 atm; value listed (0.95 K) is the temperature at which helium solidifies at 2.5 atm.
    

Sublimes at 1 atm
    

Transuranic elements 99 and above do not occur naturally, but can be produced artificially.
    

The value listed is the conventional value suitable for trade and commerce; the actual value may differ depending on the isotopic composition of the sample. Analysis of the specific material is necessary to find a more accurate value. The possible ranges of the actual values are:-

        Hydrogen:          [1.00784; 1.00811]

        Lithium:             [6.938; 6.997]
        Boron:                [10.806; 10.821]
        Carbon:              [12.0096; 12.0116]
        Nitrogen:            [14.00643; 14.00728]
        Oxygen:              [15.99903; 15.99977]
        Silicon:                [26.084; 26.086]
        Sulfur:                 [32.059; 32.076]
        Chlorine:            [35.446; 35.457]
        Thallium:            [204.382; 204.385]
