Either osmium or iridium. The densities are very close.
Uranium is the heaviest naturally occurring actinide.
Now californium is considered as the heaviest naturally occurring chemical element.
Uranium, number 92 is the last of the naturally occurring elements and, of course, it has 92 electrons.
No, the three densest elements under ordinary conditions are osmium, iridium and platinum, in that order. Please see the link. *************************** However, mercury is the densest liquid at room temperature.
The heaviest element in the periodic table (known in March 2013) is ununoctium.
The heviest element is mercury. It is heavy because it is so dense.
I believe it is Uranium. All elements heavier than uranium are man-made. Here's an interesting article... http://space.newscientist.com/article/dn13828-has-the-heaviest-element-been-found.html
The heaviest (hevest?) naturally occurring element is Uranium (238 a.m.u.) but the heaviest known element is atom number 114, 117 or 118, the exact mass being unknown but over 250.
I think this is a trick question. The heaviest NATURAL element is Uranium (#92) but there are several heavier man-made ones. Every couple of years they are able to make another heavier one and IT becomes the heaviest. So I think the answer should be "there is no HEAVIEST element in the periodic table - it keeps changing."
If you are talking about element sin the periodic table, it is ununoctium(Uuo)
Radon is the name of the heaviest noble gas.
The heaviest stable element is bismuth, atomic number 83, atomic weight 208.9804). Any heavier element is radioactive, which means it decays into lighter elements - uranium, the heaviest naturally occurring element, will eventually decay into lead-207.
