be denser and heavier than the one made up of lighter atoms. This is because denser materials have more mass packed into the same volume.
Oh, dude, like, metal is heavier than wood because of its density. Metal atoms are all packed in tight like a crowded elevator, while wood atoms are just chilling with some space between them. So yeah, metal wins the heavyweight championship in the periodic table, man.
An object will sink in water if its density is greater than that of water. If the density of the object is less than that of water, it will float. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, so objects with more mass in a smaller volume will sink, while objects with less mass spread out over a larger volume will float.
Viruses. They are smaller than the average wavelength of light and as such are not viewable unless an electron microscope is used.
An object is considered dense if it has a high mass relative to its volume. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume. Objects with tightly packed particles or atoms are usually denser.

Well, this is not exact, but smaller atoms have about the same number (and mass) of neutrons and of protons. Heavier atoms have a larger percentage of their mass in neutrons.Well, this is not exact, but smaller atoms have about the same number (and mass) of neutrons and of protons.

All matter is formed from atoms.
yes.
In order to truly understand large objects, it is necessary to understand the smaller objects of which the larger objects are composed.
No. 100 lead atoms are several times heavier than 100 aluminum atoms.
It is difficult to compress atoms into smaller volume because of the electromagnetic repulsion that would occur as they got too close. Some solids do have enough free space in between their atoms to be compressed some.
Yes, atoms have a definite volume.

Gases have much more space between particles compared to solids, which allows them to compress into a smaller volume. In solids, particles are packed tightly together in a fixed arrangement, limiting their ability to be compressed further.
The heaviest natural element is Uranium (number 92). There are made heavier elements (I think the heaviest is ununheksium, number 116), but these atoms only live in less than a second before they split into smaller atoms.
A carbon atom is about 12 times heavier than a hydrogen atom, while a calcium atom is about 40 times heavier than a hydrogen atom. Therefore, carbon atoms are 12 times heavier than hydrogen atoms, and calcium atoms are 40 times heavier than hydrogen atoms.
