For chemistry students and teachers: The tabular chart on the right is arranged by Atomic number. The first chemical element with the lowest density is Hydrogen and the highest density is Osmium. The unit of density is gr/cm3 (grams per cubic centimeter) for solids and gr/l (grams per liter) or kg/m3 (kilograms per kuub) for gasses Please note that the elements do not show their natural relation towards each other as in the Periodic system. There you can find the metals, semi-conductor(s), non-metal(s), inert noble gas(ses), Halogens, Lanthanoides, Actinoids (rare earth elements) and transition metals.	1.87	Cesium	Cs	55
