Refer to the Density of Metals at Room Temperature table above. How is the density of a
metal related to its location on the Periodic Table?
A
As the metal's atomic number increases, the density increases.
B
As the metal's atomic mass increases, the density increases.
С
As the metal's number of valence electrons increases, the density increases.
D
As the metal's number of electron energy levels increases, the density increases.
