the data given are
melting point density
Zinc 419.53 oC 7.134
Nickel 1455oC 8.912
Copper 1084.62oC 8.96
Silver 961.78oC 10.501
Gold 1064.18oC 19.282
density is the mass per unit volume. Melting point is determined by the intermolecular forces between particles in the solids.
We have been asked to find which cube weighs the most
density = mass/volume
when volume is constant for all the metals, then density is directly proportional to mass. Therefore metal with highest density has the highest mass.
from the given metals, metal with highest density is Gold.
correct answer is Gold.
