Density
A characteristic physical property that can be used to identify the type of matter in the sample
Density formula
Mass/volume
Density is the measure of…
How closely picked the matter in the substance is
The denser the substance…
The more closely picked the matter
The density of a substance stays…
Constant, regardless of the amount for homogenous objects
Density units for solids:
- g/cm3
- kg/m3
Density units for liquids and gasses:
- g/mL
- g/L
1g of water =
1 mL of water
If an object has a density less than 1g/mL it will…
Sink
Less dense substances…
Float on denser substances
Physical properties
Characteristics of a substance that can be determined without altering the nature of the substance
Types of motion
- Translational
- Rotational
- Vibrational
Rotational
Spinning motion around axis
Translational
Linear movement
Vibrational
A back and forth oscillation
