Tungsten is used almost exclusively for filaments of electric bulbs. List two reasons.
(N/A) $1$. Tungsten has a very high melting point (approximately $3380 ^\circ C$), which allows it to glow at high temperatures without melting.
$2$. It has a high resistance, which allows it to produce a large amount of heat and light when an electric current passes through it.
