mercury... ~13.6 times heavier than water

Osmium has the highest density of any non-radioactive element but it's solid at room temperature. It has a specific gravity of about 26, compared with 19.6 for gold and 12 point something for mercury.

well i believe that question is incomplete...because you can have any metal in liquid form given the right temperature...
so you just take the heaviest element and go to melting point until it becomes liquid...that will be you're heaviest
but if you mean at room temperature, then it is mercury.

anything can be liquified given enough energy, so you could actually make a carbon chain that is incredibly long or just make a massive crystal of some network covalent, liquify it and then that would probably be one hell of a good start. but you could always get the chain longer, so there really isnt one. but if youre talking elements, mercury.

It is mercury because it is a metal which is a liquid at room temperature.

Off hand I would say mercury...but everything has 3 states....solid...liquid and gas. I imagine many liquid metals are more dense.

Its Mercury

I think it's mercury (yes, that is a liquid, it's the stuff in thermometers)... but i'm not sure.

At what temperature?
At a high enough temperature, liquified Plutonium would be far denser than any liquid you can think of.
