Gold has many more protons and neutrons in the nucleus of each atom than iron does. So each gold atom weighs almost four times as much as each iron atom. The extra electrons in the gold atoms do make the atom a little bigger than an iron atom, but not a whole lot. So there are nearly as many gold atoms as iron atoms per volume, but each gold atom weighs a lot more. So gold ends up denser.
What else can I help you with?
Why is gold heavier then cooper?
Gold is heavier than copper primarily due to its higher density. Density is defined as mass per unit volume, and gold has a higher atomic mass and closely packed atomic structure compared to copper. This results in gold being more compact and thus heavier for the same volume. Consequently, when comparing equal volumes of gold and copper, gold will weigh more.

Which is heavier a cubic centimetre of gold or a cubic centimetre of iron?
a cubic centimetre of gold is heavier than a cubic centimetre of iron because gold is a denser substance than iron, i.e. it has more weight or mass per unit of volume.

Are 3 moles of gold heavier than 10 moles of iron?
Let's see. 3 moles gold (197.0 grams/1 mole Au) = 591 grams of gold ----------------------------- 10 mole iron (55.85 grams/1 mole Fe) = 558.5 grams of iron ----------------------------- So, 3 moles of gold has more mass that 10 moles of iron. (heavier)
How are elements heavier than iron are formed?
Elements heavier than iron are formed in super-nova explosions.

Yes iron is very much heavier then plastic.
Which metal or ore is heavier silver gold titanium or iron?
I list them in order of heaviest to lightest:Gold, Silver, Iron, Titanium. Gold has no ore and ores are always less dense than the metal.
