It isn't. Carbon is 6th on the Periodic Table and Oxygen is 8. Oxygen is the heavier element. mass of oxygen / mass of carbon 15.99g / 12.01g = 1.33 heavier than carbon
There are as many as 17 elements which are denser (and therefore heavier) than gold. Most of them are transuranic elements, almost all of which have a half-life measured in fractions of a second.The densest of the non-transuranic elements is osmium, which is about 17% heavier than gold. It is closely followed by iridium, then platinum and rhenium.
No, wrought iron is not stronger than forged iron. Wrought iron has a very low carbon content. Forged iron is when heat up the iron and forge into something you want it to be. Mixing up the metal makes it stronger than just having one piece.
Mercury is considerably more massive than palladium.
Iron would be a better conductor of electricity than would alluvium.
iron is stronger than wood, so an iron plough would last longer than a wooden one.
Yes, silver is heavier than iron. One atom of iron has a mass of 55.85 amu (atomic mass units). One atom of silver has a mass of 107.87 amu. All of this information is easily found on a periodic table.
Both a Pound of Iron and a Pound of Air weight the same ... One Pound ... neither is 'heavier.'
One is lighter and the other one is heavier. :D
One grape is not heavier than one plum.
One ounce is heavier than 1000 milligrams. One ounce is also heavier than 28349 milligrams.
Iron is the heaviest element made in the bowels of any star with the exception of a supernova explosion. All natural elements heavier than iron come from one of those.
they weigh the same silly
use the ruler as a simple balance and put an iron bar at each end. if they are the same, the ruler will not tilt and the heavier bar must be the third one. If they are different, then the heavier bar is the one that tilts the ruler down.
They both weigh the same, 1 kg
Such energy is called nuclear energy. There are basically two different variations on this principle. One, light atoms can be combined into heavier atoms (up to a certain point - somewhere around iron). This is known as fusion. The other is that heavy atoms (heavier than iron) can split into lighter atoms.
Wooden vessels plated with iron; there were fleets of them...not just one.
