Since lawrencium is the heaviest element, I would guess that it would be the heaviest liquid. Nobelium would be the second heaviest.

Kman that doesnt work too well your theory that molecular weight relates to S.G. (specific gravity, ratio of liquid density of substance to liquid density of water)

And either which way there's probably some organic polymer that would be the heaviest liquid
