How does the density of the metal in the crushed can compare with the metal's density before the can was crushed?

It depends on what you're measuring: the density of the aluminum or the aluminum and the space inside the can. If it's the density of the aluminum only, it doesn't change much. If it's the density of the aluminum and the space inside the can, the density greatly decreases as you are getting rid of the air, and therefore the volume, inside. This also depends on if you are using your foot or a garbage compacter.

What do metals weigh?
There are many various types of Metals and metal alloys. Magnesium is one of the lightest metals. Aluminum alloys is next. Steel alloys and Lead and Gold are the heaviest metals.
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.

How can you determine that a coin is not pure silver if you know the mass and volume of the coin?
Divide the mass by the volume to calculate its density. If its density isn't the same as an equal amount of pure silver, the coin has some other metal in it.The density test can be fooled if the coin was adulterated with other metals that average out to the same density as silver, however.
What are cold resistance and hot resistance?
Metals heat up as electrical currents flow through them. Cold resistance is the metals resistance before it is operating. Hot resistance is the metals resistance after operating time has elapsed some.
How does the density of the metal in a crushed can compared with the metals density before the can was crushed?
The density of the metal will remain the same. However because the volume of the object has been reduced the overall density will increase
How do metals and nonmetals generally compare with respect to their densities?
The density of metals is greater.
Are metals high density?
Yes Metals have a high density.
Do metals have low density?
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.
Do yellow metals have more density than silver and gray metals?
no
What are the properties of most metals?
Density
What are high density metals?
gold
What metals have a low density?
aluminum..
Compare metals and nonmetals?
something
Do transitional metals have high density?
Yes, transitional metals do have high density.(This is due to the tightly packed crystal lattice of the metallic structure.)
How can you determine if something is pure metal?
you will have to determine the properties of your sample, and compare these with a table of properties of metals. Density is a good easy one to start with. But you could consider colour, softness and so on.
What is the greatest metal density?
Gold has the highest density of the metals listed.
