| DensityFor other meanings of density, see density (disambiguation Density (symbol: rho Greek: rho) is a measure of mass per unit of volume. The higher an object's density, the higher its mass per volume. The average density of an object equals its total mass div, Hardness | 6146 kg/m3Kilogram per cubic metre is the SI measure of density and is represented as kg/m³, where kg stands for kilogram and m³ stands for cubic metre. The density of water is about 1000 kg/m³, since a cubic metre of water weighs about a tonne. kg/m³" is sometimes, 2.5 |

| Atomic weightIn reference to a certain isotope of a chemical element, atomic weight (more accurately relative atomic mass though also called simply atomic mass is the mass of one atom of the isotope expressed in units atomic mass unit amu) such that the Carbon-12 isot | 138.9055 u |
| Atomic radiusAtomic radius is the distance from the atomic nucleus to the outmost stable electron orbital in a atom that is at equilibrium and is measured in picometers or Angstroms. Atomic radii are called covalent radii (a reference to the types of bonds formed) whe (calc.) | 195 (n/a) pm |
| Covalent radiusCovalent radius in chemistry corresponds to half of the distance between two identical atomic nuclei, bound by a covalent bond. It is expressed in terms of pm or A. Chemistry. | 169 pmPicometre ( American spelling: picometer is an SI measure of length that is equal to 10−12 of a metre. Its symbol is pm and it is commonly used in measuring atomic-scale distances. Atom diameters are in the range from ~30 to 600 pm. 1 pm 1 × 10&minu |
