Potassium has higher density than sodium .

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether potassium has a higher density than sodium, we need to analyze the relationship between mass, volume, and density. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Density**: - Density is defined as mass per unit volume. Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} ...
