Answer 2

It will be one of the heavy metals, maybe osmium, maybe indium or uranium.  You can get the densities from tables of the properties of the elements.  Yours is more of a chemical question.

Apart from that, people who ask questions about 2012 on Y!A!

Answer 3

check in these websites. Its bound to be their.

Answer 4

The heaviest naturally occuring element is Plutonium-244, which occurs in very, very small amounts in nature.  Uranium-238 is comparatively much more abundant.  The heaviest element synthesized in a lab is Ununoctium-294 (ununoctium is a temporary name).

However, because of the way atoms and molecules arrange themselves, the densities of materials are not directly related to their atomic weight.   Iridium is possibly the most dense known material on earth, but that doesn't mean a denser material doesn't exist.

Answer 5

The densest solid is either iridium or osmium. I have read that a one inch thick piece of Ir or Os the dimensions of a dollar bill weighs 14 pounds. That's dense! Scientist have been splitting hairs for decades with those two, they are so close to each other. Nevertheless, there is no denser material on earth. The densest gas is uranium hexafluoride, UF6. This is used in uranium enrichment plants.

Answer 6

I could be wrong, but I think it's lead.

Answer 7

I guess it's diamond.

Answer 8

My ex husbands brain............. LOL  !!

Answer 9

Look for items that have the most weight in proportion to size.

Lead is an example, so is depleted uranium.

My ex-wife is also a prime example.

Answer 10

I think its Iridium. [if you talk about elements]

Answer 11

diamond i suppose with RI 2.42
