The hardest and densest metals are typically found in the d-block of the Periodic Table, which contains transition metals. Elements such as tungsten, osmium, and iridium, known for their hardness and density, are located in this block. These metals exhibit unique properties due to their electron configuration and metallic bonding characteristics. In contrast, s-block and p-block metals generally have lower densities and hardness compared to those in the d-block.

Are the transition metals stronger denser and harder than the non-metals?

Metals are denser than non-metals. They are not necessarily harder though. Hardness has nothing to do with density - it's down to the structure of the bonded molecules. Diamond is one of the hardest know sustances, but it is a non-metal (a form of carbon). Lead and gold are among the softest of metals yet they are also some of the densest.
