Because centimeters cubed is a unit of volume, not weight. The two might take up the same amount of space, but iron is much more dense and as such weighs more.

∙ 12y agoWood is lighter than iron because the molecules wood is made up of are relatively further apart compared to iron. This means wood is less dense and also explains why wood burns rather than conducts heat energy.

∙ 11y agoWood varies a lot, some types of hardwood can be very heavy, but there are none which are as heavy as lead.
What you really mean is "which is denser?". A big piece of wood may well be heavier than a small piece of lead.

improve:that but any wood and lead in water the heavier will sink

Why does a lump of lead have a greater mass than a lump of wood?
The molecules of lead are more massive and are more densely packed together than those of wood.
What is heavier water or lead?
Lead (11,34 g.cm^-3) has a greater density than water (1 g.cm^-3) so for the same volume of water and lead, lead will be heavier. The "-3" should be written as an exponent but it won't allow me
Which is heavier lead or solder?
Lead. The densities of lead and tin are 11.34 g/cm^3 and ~7 g/cm^3, respectively. Lead solder is an alloy made of mostly lead and tin; a mixture of lead and tin will weigh less than 100% lead. Lead-free solders are made of tin, copper, silver, indium, bismuth, zinc, antimony, and other metals; none of these metals is heavier than lead. So, lead is the champion.
How do you separate sand and wood chips?
We own a Gun range and had this exact same problem. we ended up shoveling the wood chips full of lead pellets into buckets of water, skimming off the wood chips and recovering the lead that way.

Is lead heavier than stainless steel?
Lead is much heavier than stainless steel.
Is lead heavier than uranium?

What is heavier a cubic meter of aluminium or lead?

Are diamonds heavier than lead?
No. The specific gravity of lead is 11.35 and the specific gravity of diamond is 3.5, which is above average, but not heavier than lead.
What is heavier wood or steal?
Who wrote this question. The word is spelled incorrectly in this context. It should read, which is heavier wood or steel. Good grief
Which is stronger lead or iron?
Lead is heavier, but iron is stronger.
Is lead heavier than iridium?
Lead has a higher atomic number than iridium, which means a lead atom is heavier than an iridium atom. however iridium is denser, therefore if you had a block of iridium and a block of lead,the iridium block would be heavier
