Metals are denser than non-metals. They are not necessarily harder though. Hardness has nothing to do with density - it's down to the structure of the bonded molecules. Diamond is one of the hardest know sustances, but it is a non-metal (a form of carbon). Lead and gold are among the softest of metals yet they are also some of the densest.

What is the difference between late transition metals and early transition metals?

The early vs. late transition metals differ in their oxidation states (each metal has different possible oxidation states). Electrons have a stronger attraction to the protons in the late transition metals, so the later transition metals form bonds that are harder to break. You can read more about transition metal properties from the links below.Source(s):
