Look at the Periodic Table the higher the Atomic Number the greater the density.
Unless you are talking about air consisting of mostly Radon gas, Gold has the greatest density with an atomic weight of 196 compared to Aluminum's 27. and obviously normal air and ice are not even close to as dense.
so the answer is most likely C. Gold

What materials you need to find the density of aluminum?
You need some aluminum, a scale to determine the mass, and a measuring cup halfway filled with water to determine the volume of the piece of aluminum by substracting the volume after and before you drop the piece of aluminum in the water. Then you can calculate the density of the aluminum = mass / volume.
Can aluminium float in water?
A solid bar of aluminum would not float, since its density (almost 3 grams per cc) is greater than that of water (1 gram per cubic centimeter). For an object to float in water, its density would have to be less than 1.0.
The density of water is equal to 10 gcm3 A substance with density equal to 09 gcm3 would in water?
float
If 1 liter of substance weighed 1 kilogram what would the substance be?
A substance with approximately the same density as water.
What defines the ratio of the density of a substance compared to the density of water at 4 celsius?
specific gravity
What is meant by relative density of a substance?
The relative density of a substance is defined as the ratio of density of any substance to the density of water at 4 degree celcius.Formula=Density of any substance/Density of water at 4 degree celcius.
Why Does an aluminum can float on water but an aluminum pole does not?
Because the overall density of a can is less than the density of water, a solid aluminium pole has a density greater than water
Why can aluminum float?
Generally speaking, a denser substance will sink in a less dense substance. Assuming standard temperatures, since aluminum has a density of about 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter and water only has 1 gram per cc, aluminum would sink. A thin aluminum foil could float by virtue of the surface tension on water (but if submerged, will sink). An aluminum boat would float because it displaces a greater mass of water than its own weight. An aluminum block could also float on a liquid of higher density.
a scientist has a sample of a substance with a volume of 50cm cubed and a mass of 135g. this is most likely a sample og which substance gold, pure water, aluminum or ocean water?
The **density** of a substance is defined as its mass per unit volume. We can calculate the density using the formula: [ \text{Density} (\rho) = \frac{\text{Mass} (m)}{\text{Volume} (V)} ] Given that the sample has a volume of **50 cm³** and a mass of **135 g**, let's determine the density: [ \rho = \frac{135 , \text{g}}{50 , \text{cm³}} ] The calculated density is approximately **2.7 g/cm³**[^10^]. Now let's compare this value to known densities: **Gold**: Gold has a density of *19.3 g/cm³*⁷. The sample's density is significantly lower. **Pure Water**: The density of pure water is approximately **1 g/cm³** at 4.0°C (39.2°F) . The sample's density is higher than water. **Aluminum**: Aluminum has a density of *2.7 g/cm³*[^10^]. The sample's density matches that of aluminum. **Ocean Water**: Ocean water contains dissolved salts, which increase its density. Seawater density typically ranges from *1.02 g/cm³ to 1.03 g/cm³*. The sample's density is higher than seawater. Based on the calculated density, the sample is most likely **aluminum**.
Is aluminum foil float on water?
A thin aluminum foil, (which is denser than water) could float on the surface if carefully placed, by virtue of the surface tension of water. But if submerged, the foil would sink due to its higher density. Generally speaking, a denser substance will sink in a less dense substance. Assuming standard temperatures, since aluminum has a density of about 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter and water only has 1 gram per cc, aluminum would sink. (An aluminum boat would float because it displaces a greater mass of water than its own weight.)
What can you infer about the density of a substance if a block of that substance floats in water?
because the density is lower than water.
What can you infer about the density of substance if a block of that substance floats in water?
because the density is lower than water.
Which has the greatest density an iceberg a gallon of water an aluminum can or a small piece of lead?
in which hemisphere is Asia mostly located on
Why does a aluminum sinks?
Aluminum (aluminium) has a higher density than water.
What the formula for relative density?
The relative density of a substance is the ratio of its density to the density of some standard substance. The standard substance for solids and liquids is water. Thus for solids or liquids: Relative density = denisty of substance (kg/m3) / density of water (kg/m3) Relative density therefore has no units, it is a number, and indicates only how many times more dense the substance is than water. The relative density of water is 1 or 1000 kg/m3.
What is density out of water carbon dioxide and steel which has greater density?
Steel has the greatest density of the three.
The density of water is equal to 1.0 gcm3. A substance with density equal to 2.1 gcm3 would in water.?
A substance with density equal to 2.1 gcm3 it's sinking in water.
