Which of the following is arranged in order of increasing density?
Al < Mg < C(graphite) <B
Al > Mg > C(graphite) >B
Mg < C(graphite) <B <Al
Mg > C(graphite) > B > Al
Physical Properties of Elements -
Density
The density of elements also follows almost the same order as the atomic volume. In moving from left to right in a period, the density increases first and becomes maximum till some middle elements thereafter it starts decreasing gradually.
-
Density increases from left to right upto middle in a period and increases down the group in the periodic table. Graphite is less dense form of carbon thus the order of density is:
Mg < C(graphite) <B <Al
Therefore, Option(3) is correct
