Osmium has the greatest density (of any stable element) - this is due to Lanthanide Contraction, where poor shielding of nuclear charge results in decreased atomic radius.

What is the density of osmium if 2.72g of osmium has a volume of 0.121cm?

If the volume is 0.121 CUBIC cm, then the calculated density would be 22.479 grams per cubic cm. This is somewhat lower than the true density (at standard temperature and pressure) of osmium.
