Review

One way to describe how tightly packed the molecules are in a gas, liquid, or solid is in terms of density. The density of a substance, denoted by the Greek letter ρ (rho), is the mass of the substance divided by the volume that it occupies. The greater the density of a substance, the more kilograms of that substance are packed into a given number of cubic meters of volume:
