Density of Pure Metals
Pure metals tend to have relatively high densities because their atomic structure is closely packed. This means that a significant amount of mass is concentrated in a small volume, resulting in high density.
The following table provides a comprehensive list of density values for pure metals at room temperature (approximately 25°C or 77°F) and 1 atmospheric (atm) pressure. (1 atm = 101,325 Pa)
