Velocity of sound

A definition will appear here.

Image showing periodicity of velocity of sound for 5s, 5p, and 5d chemical elements.
age showing periodicity of velocity of sound for 5s, 5p, and 5d chemical elements.

Units

m s-1

Notes

Values are given for the element at 293 K where possible.

If a range of values is given in ref. 1, the mid point value is used.
