Density

The amount of matter contained within a given space; mass divided by volume; measured in g/cm³ or g/mL.

Mass

The amount of matter in an object; measured in grams, kilograms, milligrams, or pounds.

Volume

The amount of space an object occupies; measured in mL, L, cm³, or m³.

Physical Property

A physical property is a characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of the substance.

Study Notes

  • Density is the amount of matter within a space, calculated as mass divided by volume, and is measured in units like g/cm³ or g/mL.
  • Mass is the amount of matter in an object, measured in units like grams, kilograms, or pounds.
  • Volume is the amount of space an object occupies, and is measured in units like mL, L, cm³, or m³.
  • Kilogram (kg) is a unit of mass.
  • Cubic centimeter (cm³) is a unit of volume.
  • Gram per milliliter (g/mL) is a unit of density.
  • Cubic meter (m³) is a unit of volume.
  • Milliliter (mL) is a unit of volume.
  • Gram (g) is a unit of mass.
  • Kilogram per liter (kg/L) is a unit of density.
  • Density is a physical property.
  • The density of an object with a mass of 200 g and a volume of 50 cm³ is 4 g/cm³.
  • A gold bar with a density of 19 g/cm³ and a mass of 9500g has a volume of 500 cm³.
  • A piece of aluminum with a density of 2.6 g/cm³ and a volume of 15 cm³ has a mass of 39 g.
  • A cricket ball with a density of 0.8g/cm³ and a mass of 165 g has a volume of 206.25 cm³.
  • A cube with a side length of 8 cm and a mass of 960 g has a density of 1.875 g/cm³.
  • A cylinder with a mass of 128 g, a radius of 4 cm, and a height of 9 cm has a density of 0.28 g/cm³.
  • An irregular object with a mass of 60.0 g that displaces water from 75.0 mL to 90.5 mL has a density of 3.9 g/mL.
  • Ice floats on water because it is less dense, being the only substance where solids are less dense than liquids.
  • To determine the density of an irregularly shaped object, measure its mass with a scale, find its volume using water displacement (V = VF - V1), and calculate density using the formula D = m/V.
  • If an object's mass stays the same but its volume increases, its density decreases.
  • A rock is denser than a sponge of the same volume because it has more mass.
  • The formula for calculating density is mass divided by volume.
  • If an object has a mass of 50 g and a volume of 10 cm³, its density is 5 g/cm³.
  • Gold is the most dense material among water, air, and wood.
  • If an object sinks in water, its density is greater than the density of water.
  • When temperature increases the density of a substance decreases (assuming it expands).
  • If you cut an object in half, its density stays the same.
  • A piece of wood floats on water because its density is lower than water.
  • When two liquids with different densities are combined, the denser liquid sinks below the less dense liquid.
  • Density is defined as mass divided by volume.
  • An object's density can change if its temperature changes.
  • The unit g/cm³ is commonly used for solids.
  • Gases are less dense than liquids.
  • If an object is compressed, its density increases.
  • Density can help identify unknown substances.
  • Density is mass divided by volume.
  • Volume is the amount of space an object occupies.
  • Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
  • Buoyancy is mass divided by volume.
  • Sink have lower density than the surrounding fluid.
  • Float is the amount of matter in an object.
  • In an atom of sodium, there are:
    • 11 protons
    • 11 electrons
    • 12 neutrons
  • Groups are vertical columns on the periodic table, and there are 18 groups; periods are horizontal rows, and there are 7 periods.
  • Noble gases do not easily react with other substances; Helium and Neon never react.
  • Metals are shiny, hard, malleable, ductile, and good conductors.
  • Nonmetals are not shiny or soft, not malleable or ductile, and are bad conductors.
  • The number of neutrons in an atom is determined by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass.
  • Elements are arranged by increasing atomic number instead of atomic mass because organizing by atomic mass led to some discrepancies.
  • Notable scientists and their contributions to understanding the periodic table:
    • Dmitri Mendeleev formulated the periodic table and arranged it by atomic mass.
    • Henry Moseley discovered that the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus.
  • Each box of the periodic table includes:
    • Element name
    • Chemical symbol
    • Atomic mass
  • The atomic number of an element represents the number of protons.
  • Oxygen has the chemical symbol O.
  • The rows in the periodic table are called periods.
  • Elements in the same group have the same properties.
  • Francium is the most reactive metal is in Group 1.
  • Noble gases are in Group 18.
  • The atomic mass of an element is determined by protons and neutrons.
  • Carbon (C) has 6 electrons.
  • Iron (Fe) is a metal.
  • All elements in Group 18 are gases at room temperature.
  • The periodic table is arranged by increasing atomic number.
  • Metals are found on the left side of the periodic table.
  • The halogens (Group 17) are highly reactive nonmetals.
  • An element's chemical symbol is always one or two letters.
  • Hydrogen is a gas.
  • The number of protons equals the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
  • Atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
