Key concepts

What you'll likely be quizzed about

  • Density, denoted by the symbol ρ (rho), is a physical property that represents the mass of a substance divided by its volume.
  • The formula for density is ρ = m/V, where m is mass and V is volume.
  • Understanding density helps categorize materials based on their mass-to-volume ratio.
