♥ Densest Element On Earth ???

The densest element on earth is osmium. Osmium is a hard, brittle, blue-gray or blue-black transition metal in the platinum family. The density of osmium is 22610 kg⁄m³ (22.61 g⁄cm³), slightly greater than the density of irridium, the second densest element. Osmium is used in alloys with platinum, irridium other platinum and group metals. Osmium is found in nature as an alloy in platinum ore. Alloys of osmium are employed in fountain pen tips, electrical contacts and in other applications where extreme durability and hardness are needed
