Take a look at the two boxes above. Each box has the same volume. If each ball has the same mass, which box would weigh more? Why?
The box that has more balls has more mass per unit of volume. This property of matter is called density. The density of a material helps to distinguish it from other materials. Since mass is usually expressed in grams and volume in cubic centimeters, density is expressed in grams/cubic centimeter
