What is Density?Elements
and Compounds
Density: The amount
of matter that
occupies a certain
space.
It is the mass per unit
volume of a
substance.

Calculating Density
To calculate density you need two
things:
Mass and Volume
D=
D = density
M
M = mass
V = volume
V units:

Classification of Matter
Classification of Matter
Matter: Anything that has mass and takes
up space.
Mixture: Two or more substances mixed
together.
Pure Substance: A substance that contains
only one kind of matter.
Mechanical Mixture: A mixture
of two or more components that
can be seen with the unaided eye.
