In the pre-lab questions, you identified an unknown metal based on its density. The table of densities that you used is reproduced below, but now the atomic numbers of the metals are included. Metal
(atomic number)

Density (g/mL)
Metal
(atomic number)

Density (g/mL)
Aluminum (13)
2.7
Magnesium (12)
1.7
Copper (29)
8.9
Platinum (78)
21.3
Gold (79)
19.3
Silver (47)
10.5
Lead (82)
11.3
Zinc (30)
7.1

According to these data, are elements ordered on the periodic table according to densities? Explain why this makes sense based on what you know about atoms of the elements.
