how closely packed particles are; the amount of mass per unit volume
How the particles in a solid are arranged
Closely packed in a regular structure
How the particles in a liquid are arranged
fairly packed in an irregular structure

Spread out with no structure at all
ρ = m/V
The equation linking density, mass and volume
ρ
The symbol for density
m

1 kilogram (kg) is equal to
1000 grams (g)
1 cubic metre (m³) is equal to
1,000,000 cubic centimetres (cm³)
1 gram per cubic centimetre (g/cm³) is equal to
1000 kilograms per cubic metre (kg/m³)
