Young's Modulus of the Elements

Unit

Young's modulus E, or the modulus of elasticity in tension or compression (i.e., negative tension), is a mechanical property that measures the tensile or compressive stiffness of a solid material when the force is applied lengthwise.

Data available for 63 of 118 elements. Highest: Iridium (528 GPa). Lowest: Cesium (1.7 GPa).
