Which of the following has a greater density:

a bar of gold or a block of wood?

(Assume that both the bar and the block have the same lengths, widths, and heights.)

bar of gold

They have equal densities.

block of wood

There is not enough information.

Verified Answer :

Density always stays the same. With that said, Gold will be MUCH denser than a block of wood. Wood is made of mostly carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen, all which are extremely light or least dense. Gold on the other hand is very heavy, it being comprised of much more electrons, protons, and neutrons closely packed together.
