Question-Image


(a) Fe
(b) Ni
(c) Co
(d) Cu
(d) Cu
Explanation: In periodic table when moving from left to right along period, its metallic radius decreases and mass increases. Decrease in metallic radius coupled with increase in atomic mass which results in the increase in density of metal. Therefore, among above four options, copper belongs to right side of periodic table in transition metal and it has the highest density.
