(b) The lightest metal in the periodic table is lithium (Li) with atomic number 3 density 0.53 kg/L. Lithium metal is extremely soft (and highly reactive) and so is unusable for many applications. Osmium is a hard metallic element which has the greatest density of all known elements. It is twice as heavy as lead, and has a specific gravity of 22.59.
