An easy to use reference guide that enables you to answer the question what is the density of commonly used elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, aluminum or gold including their name, symbol and atomic number.
Densities provided are in g/L or grams per liter that shows how many grams of a certain substance are present in one liter of a usually liquid or gaseous mixture - and g/cc for grams per cubic centimeter of elements that usually occur as solids.
