Either osmium or iridium. It's a pretty close call. Theoretically iridium should be more dense; actual measurements indicate that osmium is very slightly denser.

How do the density of wood cube and metal cube compare?

This is not a sensible question. There are many types of wood, and many types of metal. It depends which ones you pick. Balsa wood has a very low density, lignum vitae is much higher. Most woods are less dense than water (so they float) but a few are denser. Most metals are more dense than water, but a few, such as sodium and potassium are less dense. Overall, I suppose most metals are denser than most woods, but potassium is less dense than some forms of eucalyptus wood.

What is more dense a 200g sample zinc metal or 500g?

The 500g sample of zinc metal is more dense because density is a property of a material and does not depend on the amount of the substance. Density is defined as mass divided by volume, so for the same material, the one with higher mass will be more dense.
