What does density measure?

How much matter fits in a unit of volume

Density formula (words)

density=massvolume\text{density} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}

Density formula (symbols)

ρ=mV\rho = \frac{m}{V}

Symbol ρ\rho represents

Density

Formula for mass using density

m=ρ×Vm = \rho \times V

Formula for volume using density

V=mρV = \frac{m}{\rho}

Main unit for density

kg/m³ (kilograms per cubic metre)

Alternative unit for density

g/cm³ (grams per cubic centimetre)

Particle arrangement in solids

Tightly packed together

Particle arrangement in liquids

Less tightly packed than solids

Particle arrangement in gases

Spread far apart

State of matter with highest density

Solids

State of matter with lowest density

Gases

Does density change with amount of material?

No, density stays the same
