Best Answer

The heaviness of gold involves two factors. First, the individual gold atoms have very large, and hence heavy nuclei (most of the weight in any atom is located in the nucleus). Secondly, the atoms of gold pack close together, because gold is a metal and metals form stong metallic bonds.
