No, metals are denser. They have a more tightly packed crystal lattice structure.
Their nuclei tend to be more massive and can be more tightly packed due to their electrons being delocalized.

Do metals have low density?
It varies. Many metal have high density. In fact, the metals iridium and osmium are the densest substances known to man. However some metals are light. Lithium and sodium are even less dense than water.
Do transitional metals have high density?
Yes, transitional metals do have high density.(This is due to the tightly packed crystal lattice of the metallic structure.)
What is properties distinguish metals from nonmetals?
Metals are usually more conductive. They have higher boiling and melting points, and lower electronegativity than other elements. Also, Metals are malleable and ductile, whereas non metals are not.
Is low density a metal or nonmetal?
Generally, metals have a high density relative to other elements, but there are a few which dont correspont to this rule. But if it was a simple yes or no question, it would be HIGHH!!!! The density of metals is very variable: from lithium (0,534 g/cm3) to osmium (22,61 g/cm3) - from low density to high density.
State the physical properties of metals?
Pure metals have high density and very high melting and boiling points. In addition, these metals are excellent conductors of heat and electricity.
Are metals high density?
Yes Metals have a high density.
What are physical properties of non metals?
Non metals do not conduct heat & electricity, good insulators, non mileable, high combustivity, low density and light in weight

What are high density metals?
gold
What are three exceptions to the normal properties of metals and non metals?
Metals:All metals are hard except sodiumAll metals have a high density except sodiumAll metals are solid at room temperature except mercuryNon-metals: All non-metals are insulators to electricity except graphiteAll non-metals are brittle except diamondi dont have an answer for 3 sorry! :(
Do transitional metals have high density?
Yes, transitional metals do have high density.(This is due to the tightly packed crystal lattice of the metallic structure.)
Do nonmetals have lower densities than metals?
No, they have higher density than non-metals comparatively.
What is properties distinguish metals from nonmetals?
Metals are usually more conductive. They have higher boiling and melting points, and lower electronegativity than other elements. Also, Metals are malleable and ductile, whereas non metals are not.
Which are the characteristics of transition metals?
High density, High melting point, Nonreactive
What are the three characters of ALL metals?
- metals have metallic bonds- metals have a high density compared to liquids- metals are generally hard
Why is diamond a unusual non metal?
non-metals have lower density, melting and boiling point but diamond has higher density, melting and boiling point.
Why non metals have low density?
That is not a reliable discrimination. Astatine and Radon have much more mass than the majority of metals. And Lithium and Magnesium are lighter than many non - metals.
