mass is sort of like the measure of an objects volume, and has no set number per substance, but density is a fixed figure. As to which object is denser, it depends what type of metal you are talking about, but most of the time metal would be more dense. As to how much mass they have, it depends how big the piece of Styrofoam is, and what type and how big the metal is.

This is not necessarily true. For example a 50g ball of any metal has exactly the same mass as a 50g ball of styrofoam. Metals, however, are far more dense than styrofoam, which is why a metal ball of the same dimensions as a styrofoam ball will have a greater mass.
Boron is a metal element. Atomic mass of it is 11.
The more the mass, the more momentum you will need for an object to speed up more, or accelerate.

The paper clip is more dense than the water, and it will sink. Water does not have sufficient buoyancy to support it. As regards density, the metal in the paperclip has more mass per unit of volume than the water does.
Based on the formula Desnity= Mass/Volume. The answer would be 13.5 g/cm3
