Gold, platinum. Tin and lead are also quite dense. Osmium is the most dense on the Periodic Table.

Where are the most dense metals on the periodic table?

Osmium is the densest of the elements. The most dense pure metal is osmium, Os, with a density of 22.61 g/cm3 (that's about twice the density of lead).Other very dense metals are:iridium, Ir, 22.56 g/cm3platinum, Pt, 21.4 g/cm3rhenium, Re, 21.0 g/cm3neptunium, Np, 20.4 g/cm3plutonium, Pu, 19.8 g/cm3gold, Au, 19.3 g/cm3tungsten, W, 19.3 g/cm3mercury, Hg, 13.53 g/cm3Lead, Pb, which is usually considered pretty dense, is only 11.4 g/cm3! In case this isn't enough, lead will float on liquid mercury, which has a density of 13.5 g/cm3.


Is a magnet more dense than water?

No, a magnet is not more dense than water. Density is the measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, and the density of water is greater than that of most metals, including magnets.


Enumerate 5 examples of properties of metal?

Conductivity: Metals have high electrical and thermal conductivity. Ductility: Metals can be easily stretched into wires without breaking. Malleability: Metals can be hammered or rolled into thin sheets. Luster: Metals have a shiny appearance when polished. Density: Metals are generally dense materials.


Which properties are most common in metals?

Some common properties of metals include high thermal and electrical conductivity, malleability, ductility, luster, and the ability to form alloys with other metals. Metals are also typically dense and have high melting and boiling points.


In general metals are .?

Generally metals are hard, dense, with good thermal and electrical conductivity, can form cations, many are malleable or ductiles, etc.

Is dense a metal or non metal?

"Dense" is a property that can describe both metals and non-metals. Metals in general tend to be denser than non-metals due to their atomic structure, but there are exceptions. It's important to consider the specific element in question when determining its density.


What can X-rays not see through?

X-rays cannot see through dense materials like lead or dense metals.


What two metals are more dense than mercury?

Osmium and gold are more dense than mercury.See the Related Questions for a complete list of the most dense elements (many of which are more dense than mercury).


Are gases more dense than metal?

No, gases are less dense than metals. Metals have high density due to closely packed atoms in their solid state, while gases have low density as their particles are spread far apart and have much lower mass.


Is gold one of the lightest metals?

No, gold is not one of the lightest metals. It is actually quite dense and heavy compared to many other metals.


Why is iron scandium and technetium metals?
