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
