Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of matter. It describes how tightly matter is packed.
Different materials have different densities depending on how their particles are arranged.
Description
Density depends on both the mass of particles and how they are arranged in space. It varies between different materials and states of matter, and can change with conditions such as pressure and temperature.
Properties
- mass per unit volume
- depends on composition and structure
- varies with conditions
