I am assuming you mean the atoms of these two elements. We can do the simple math and find out:

density = mass/volume

Atomic Mass of carbon = 12.01 amu = 1.99 x 10-23 grams
atomic mass of aluminum = 26.98 amu = 4.48 x 10-23 grams

volume of a sphere (atom) = 4/3 x pi x r3

atomic radius of carbon = 70 pm = 7.0 x 10-9 cm
atomic radius of aluminum = 125 pm = 1.25 x 10-8 cm

density (carbon) = 13.85 g/cm3
density (aluminum) = 5.48 g/cm3

Carbon is more dense.

Why is diamond more dense than coal?

Because a diamond has more carbon bonds than coal. Carbon bonds are very strong and can only be broken in one direction. Diamonds have 3 carbon bonds, which makes it very hard. Diamonds can only be cut in one direction, that is because of the number of carbon bonds.
