===About Density===
: An [[object]] with a large amount of [[mass]] in a small [[Volume (Space)|volume]] is said to have a high [[density]].: An [[object]] with a small amount of [[mass]] spread over a large [[Volume (Space)|volume]] is said to have a low [[density]].
: The [[SI Unit|units]] of [[density]] are kg/m<sup>3</sup>.

| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |[[Solid]]s are the most dense [[State of Matter|state of matter]] because there are a large number of [[particle]]s in a certain [[Volume (Space)|volume]] and [[gas]]es are the least '''dense''' [[State of Matter|state of matter]] because there are a small number of [[particle]]s in a the same [[Volume (Space)|volume]].

Where:
: ρ = [[density]]: m = [[mass]]: V = [[Volume (Space)|volume]]
===Example Calculations===
[[Mass]] = 5000[[kg]]
[[Volume (Space)|Volume]] = 0.635m<sup>3</sup>
