Density isn't determined by the size of the specimen but by its mass per unit of volume. An oak branch has the same density as the whole tree it came from--the weights are vastly different, but density is the same.

Would two blocks made of the same metal but differ in sizes differ in density?

Density is dependent on two things - the volume of the object under consideration, and it's mass. For a given material, in order for the volume (the size) to change, so must the mass by a proportional amount. Therefore, for a specific material, changing the size of the sample does not affect the density in any way.


How are solids different?

In density, composition and size. None of them look the same.


Can two things have the same size and shape but a different density?

yes


Why do different metals of the same size have different masses?

Different metals have different atomic masses due to the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in their atoms. This leads to variations in the density of the metals. Thus, metals of the same size can have different masses based on their atomic structure and density.


If A sponge and a brick that are the same size they have the same what?

no; they have the same volume but their mass is quite different; density is mass/volume and the sponge has much lower density


How can two items have the same shape and size have different densities?

It doesn't have the same density because the two items can be different masses.


Under the same conditions of temperature and pressure three different samples of the same uniform substance will have the same?

Density reason is that the density of a uniform material is constant Density is independent of the size and shape of the sample.


If two objects are the same size will they have the same mass?

Not necessarily. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while size refers to the dimensions of the object. Two objects of the same size may have different densities, which would result in different masses.


Why do objects of the same size weight different?

Objects of the same size can weigh differently due to variations in their density. Density is a measure of how much mass is in a given volume, so objects with different densities will weigh different amounts even if they have the same size. Additionally, the material composition and structure of the objects can also affect their weight.
