![]() Density |
Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance and is given here in units of grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3). Densities are reported at 20°C or 25°C and refer to the states that are most stable at those temperatures and one atmosphere ressure; that is, for hydrogen and helium the gas densities are given, for lithium the density of the solid, etc. Densities of the elements were obtained from the 81th edition of the CRC HANDBOOK OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS, D. R. Lide, Ed., CRC Press, Inc., 2000. Data from the CRC HANDBOOK OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS was collected online at: http://www.knovel.com/knovel2/Toc.jsp?BookID=34 (accessed July, 2002) |
