Its density is extremely high for such a small molecule with a very low relative molecular mass.

It is more dense than the metals in Group 1, for instance. This is extremely unusual for a simple molecular substance.

Relative density, also called specific gravity, is the ratio of the density of a substance divided by the density of water. For water it has to be one.
