CAN YOU IDENTIFY A METAL IF YOU KNOW ITS DENSITY? EXPLAIN

OpenStudy (abb0t):

density, \(\rho\) is \(\sf \color{}{\frac{mass}{volume}}\)

OpenStudy (abb0t):

If you can get the mass of a compound, you can certainly get an approximation of a metal by looking at the periodic table masses

OpenStudy (abb0t):

But there are other methods which can be used to identify a metal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you. what are the other methods?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

You can use physical properties, such as melting or boiling point of metal(s).
