Editing Meitnerium (section)

===Physical and atomic===
Meitnerium is expected to be a solid under normal conditions and assume a [[face-centered cubic]] [[crystal structure]], similarly to its lighter [[congener (chemistry)|congener]] iridium.<ref name="bcc" /> It should be a very heavy metal with a [[density]] of around 27–28&nbsp;g/cm<sup>3</sup>, which would be among the highest of any of the 118 known elements.<ref name="density" /><ref name="kratz" /> Meitnerium is also predicted to be [[paramagnetic]].<ref name="paramagnetic" />

Theoreticians have predicted the covalent radius of meitnerium to be 6 to 10&nbsp;pm larger than that of iridium.<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1002/chem.200901472|pmid=19856342|title=Molecular Double-Bond Covalent Radii for Elements Li—E112|date=2009|last1=Pyykkö |first1=Pekka|last2=Atsumi|first2=Michiko|journal=Chemistry: A European Journal|volume=15|issue=46|pages=12770–9}}</ref> The atomic radius of meitnerium is expected to be around 128&nbsp;pm.{{Fricke1975}}
