An aluminum nail that is less dense than the element aluminum would not be made of pure aluminum, but would have to be an alloy of aluminum and some other substance. If an aluminum nail is made of pure aluminum, it would have the same density as the "actual" element.

Why is aluminum light weight?

The nucleus of an aluminum atom weights half that of an iron atom. Not only that, but the spacing between aluminum atoms is greater (its fluffier) so the two effects make aluminum less dense.

Why Jupiter is so massive although it mostly contains hydrogen the lightest element?

Because it contains a lot of hydrogen. Aluminum is considerably less dense than lead, but a cubic meter of aluminum weighs a lot more than a cubic centimeter of lead because it's so much bigger.


Can aluminum float in cor syrup?

Yes, aluminum can float in corn syrup. The buoyancy of an object in a liquid depends on its density relative to the liquid. Since aluminum is less dense than corn syrup, it will remain on the surface rather than sinking. However, if the aluminum is in the form of a dense enough object, such as a solid piece, it may sink in some scenarios.


What occupies the most volume 1kg of aluminum or 1kg of lead?

1kg of aluminum occupies more volume than 1kg of lead, as aluminum is less dense than lead. Densities of aluminum and lead are 2.7 g/cm³ and 11.3 g/cm³, respectively.
