Why do minerals that have the nonsilicate crystalline structure called closest packing have high density?

Minerals of a nonsilicate crystal have very high densities because their crystal structures are based on the packing of atoms that are as close together as possible. This structure is called this closest packing.

Why do minerals have the nonsilicate crystalline structure called closest packing have high density?
The native elements have very high desities because their crystal structures are based on the packing of atoms as close together as possible
Why do minerals that have the non-silicate crystalline structure called closest packing have high density?
Minerals with closest packing have high density because their atoms are arranged in a way that minimizes empty space between them. This close arrangement of atoms allows for more atoms to be packed into a given volume, resulting in higher density. Closest packing is a highly efficient crystalline structure that maximizes atomic packing, leading to increased density.
Why do minerals that have the non-silicate crystalline structure called the closest packing have high density?
Close packing basically means that the atoms are so close together, that they can not get any closer to eachother. This means that the empty space between the atoms is minimized. Density is weight per volume, so the less empty volume there is, the higher the density will be.

No. The Mercury in fish is actually minerals that come from the surface of the planet closest to the Sun. Mercury, the metal, is just named after the planet.

Not unless you get close (tidal strain will destroy any structure - down to and including molecules) ... and the closest ones are light-years away.
Can bacteria eat sand?
No. Sand is composed of solid silicate minerals. Nothing eats such material. The closest thing we have are diatoms, which extract dissolved silica from water to make glass-like shells.
