A substance’s density is the measure of the mass of material within a certain volume. (amnt of space taken up)
The mass (amnt of particles) is affected by how tightly packed the molecules are within the space.
A B
A and B = SAME VOLUME (same size)
A B
A and B = SAME VOLUME (same size)
A B
A and B = DIFFERENT MASS (amount of particles; different substance)
Different Densities
C D
C and D = DIFFERENT VOLUME (different size) but same substance
C D
C and D = DIFFERENT VOLUME (different size) but same substance
Same Densities-
particles are packed the
same way
