  2. Density, mass per unit volume of a substance. The formula for density is d=M/V, where d is density, M is mass, and V is volume. Density is commonly expressed in units of gram per cubic centimeter. For example, the density of water is 1 gram per cubic centimeter.

  3. Density Definition in Science

    sciencenotes.org/density-definition

    Density is the amount of mass in a unit of volume. In a liquid, the portion with the highest density is at the bottom of the container. By definition, density is mass per unit volume. In other words, it is the amount of matter packed into a space. The symbol most commonly used for density is ρ (the lower case Greek letter rho). The capital ...

  4. Density is the measure of how muchstuffis in a given amount of space. For example, a block of the heavier element lead (Pb) will be denser than the softer, lighter element gold (Au). A block of Styrofoam is less dense than a brick. It is defined as mass per unit volume.

  5. 2.4: Density (definition and formula) - Chemistry LibreTexts

    chem.libretexts.org/Courses/South_Puget_Sound_Community_College/Chem_121_OER...

    Define density and use it as a conversion factor. Density is a physical property that is defined as a substance's mass divided by its volume: density = mass volume ⇒ d = m v. Density is usually a measured property of a substance, so its numerical value affects the significant figures in a calculation.

  6. Density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density

    Density (volumetric mass density or specific mass) is a substance's mass per unit of volume. The symbol most often used for density is ρ (the lower case Greek letter rho), although the Latin letter D can also be used.

    The density of an object is the mass of the object compared to its volume. The equation for density is: Density = mass/volume or D = m/v. Each substance has its own characteristic density because of the size, mass, and arrangement of its atoms or molecules.
