As you move around there is a change in: electronegativies, ionisation energies, atomic radius etc. different amounts of these properties are going to effect how the element acts
To test if the hypothesis is correct, a good way is to think of it this way:
Density = mass/volume, right?
Calculate the mass and volume of each and do the equation; this will test your hypothesis.
You will be left with the density of each. But, make sure that the sample sizes are the same (controlled variable) otherwise it will be an unfair test.
Thanks for your question!
The answer is science influencing technology, as it was discovered in a science experiment. It doesn't really influence society as much because it doesn't influence the way people act, just the how things work.
Hope this helped!
