It varies. Many metal have high density. In fact, the metals iridium and osmium are the densest substances known to man. However some metals are light. Lithium and sodium are even less dense than water.

∙ 13y agoYes, generally metals have a high density.
See the link bellow.

∙ 9y agoNo, all metals do not have a high density. The majority of them do have a high density, but there are some with a low density.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agono they have different density as they are not all the same weight
Wiki User
∙ 13y agosome metals do yes.

Is low density a metal or nonmetal?
Generally, metals have a high density relative to other elements, but there are a few which dont correspont to this rule. But if it was a simple yes or no question, it would be HIGHH!!!! The density of metals is very variable: from lithium (0,534 g/cm3) to osmium (22,61 g/cm3) - from low density to high density.
What properties best describe non-metals?
low density poor conductor of electricity most form compounds
What are properties of alkali metals?
highly reactive, tarnish easily, low melting points, soft, low density, some have weak radiation also it is very flammable in water
Are metals malleable?
Yes, malleability is one of the properties of metals. However, different metals differ in their malleability.
Give one property that is typical of non metals?
Physical properties of nonmetals are generally just the opposite of metals so: - No luster (dull appearance) - Not ductile - Low density - Low melting point - Poor conductor - Not malleable The chemical properties of non metals just tend to gain electrons Hope that helps
What metals have a low density?
aluminum..
Why do alkali metals have a low density?
A. Alkali metals have the large radii and low atomic weights
Do most metals have low density?
No. Most metals have densities greater than that of water, which is 1g/ml.
Are alkali metals low density soldids at room temperature?
Yes.
What are the major characteristics of the metals in group one?
These metals have low density, they are extremely reactive, they are monovalent, the electronegativity is low, they react violent with water etc.Group-1 metals have 1 valence electron. They form mono cations.

Are metals high density?
Yes Metals have a high density.
What element have Be and Mg have in common?
They are in the group II of the periodic table, they are metals, they have a low density, they have the valence 2.
Characteristics of alkali metals?
Alkali metals are group 1 elements in the periodic table, including lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. They are highly reactive, silvery-colored metals that are soft enough to be cut with a knife. Alkali metals have one electron in their outermost energy level, making them eager to lose that electron to form a +1 cation.
Why non metals have low density?
That is not a reliable discrimination. Astatine and Radon have much more mass than the majority of metals. And Lithium and Magnesium are lighter than many non - metals.
What properties best describe non-metals?
low density poor conductor of electricity most form compounds
What is the characteristics of alkaline?
* alkaline metals contain the higher melting and also the boiling points. * These metals are present in the earths crust which does not have a basic form. * Alkaline earth metals are distributed in structure which is named as rock. * These metals have density which is low. * Alkaline earth metals have low electron affinity and as wells as low electronegativity. * One of the basic characteristic is, it contains two electrons in their outer shell.
