The volume of the block of wood is given by length × width ×height = 2.75 × 4.80 × 7.5 = 99 cm³ Density is given by mass/volume Thus = 84.0 g/ 99 cm³ = 0.848 g/cm³ Hence; since the block is less dense than water (1 g/cm³) it will float
Reason;in periodic table gold is third element in eleventh column. So its classified as TRANSITION METAL. Gold contain 79 protons, 79 electrons and 118 neutrons and gold is the most abundant isotope.
