THE MINERAL WITH THE HIGHEST SPECIFIC GRAVITY IS CALLED OSMIUM (Os) followed closely by Iridium. Most people think that Gold is the leading one.

Osmium has the highest density of any naturally occurring element, making it the densest metal. It is often used in applications where its density and hardness are beneficial.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoIt is true that most minerals have a higher specific gravity than water. Water has a specific gravity of 1, while most minerals' specific gravities are higher.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoYes, True. Most minerals range from 2-3.5 and water has a specific gravity of 1

∙ 14y agoOsmium has a density of 22,61 g/cm3
This is the greatest specific gravity of the elements

What is the greatest metal density?
Gold has the highest density of the metals listed.
Which naturally occurring element has the highest density?
The densest chemical element is the metal osmium (Os) - 22,57 g/cm3.
What is the density of a 25g piece of metal that has a volume of 10 cm cubed?
The density of the metal can be calculated by dividing the mass (25g) by the volume (10 cm^3). Therefore, the density of the metal is 2.5 g/cm^3.
Which Planet has the highest uncompressed density?
Mercury
Is low density a metal?
No, low density is a physical property referring to how closely packed the atoms are in a material. Metals can have varying densities depending on their composition and structure.
Which non-metal has the highest density?
The non-metal with the highest density is iodine, with a density of 4.92 grams per cm**3.
What is the greatest metal density?
Gold has the highest density of the metals listed.
Which one is the heaviest metal silver or Osmium?
Osmium has the highest density among metals so is heaviest metal.
What is the most dins metal?
Osmium (Os) is the metallic element with the highest density at 22.61 g/cm3.
Which metal has highest density gold or platinum or iron or lead?
Platinum has the highest density among gold, platinum, iron, and lead. Platinum has a density of 21.45 grams per cubic centimeter, while gold has a density of 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter, iron has a density of 7.87 grams per cubic centimeter, and lead has a density of 11.34 grams per cubic centimeter.
Which fiber has highest density?
which fiber has highest density ?
What metal has a density?
Every metal has a density.
Is density a metal?
Low Density a Metal?NO!!!!
Which naturally occurring element has the highest density?
The densest chemical element is the metal osmium (Os) - 22,57 g/cm3.
How does the density of the metal in the crushed can compare with the density of the metal before the can was crushed?
The density of the metal in the crushed can remains the same as the density of the metal before it was crushed. Density is an intrinsic property of a material that does not change with physical alterations like crushing. So, the density of the metal in the can will not change due to the crushing process.
What element has the highest density of all of the elements?
Iridium is the elemento with the highest density
Why does Europe have the highest population density?
Europe does not, Asia is the continent with the highest population density. However, Monaco (a European country) is the country with the highest population density.
