How metals
compare in density? |

|
Introduction
If you have some same
size cubes of different metals, you will notice that some are
much lighter than others. Lighter cubes are made of metals with
lower density and heavier cubes are made of metals with higher
density.
Low density metals are used in making airplanes. |

Project
description
Density is one of the most important physical properties of any substance.
Density varies among different metals and it can be used to identify
pure metals from each other and from alloys. Obtain samples of
different metals and test their density. Explain how you can
identify pure gold from gold alloys by a density test. |
