Volume is the amount of 3-dimensional space occupied by an object and has nothing whatsoever to do with the molecular composition of the object. The volume of a 1" x 1" x 1" cube of lead is exactly the same as the volume of a 1" x 1" x 1" cube of butter or a 1" x 1" x 1" cube of anything for that matter. Lead and butter have a great many differences, but volume isn't a measure of any of them.

Which is denser a kilogram of water or a kilogram of lead?
A kilogram of water and a kilogram of lead have the same mass, but lead is denser than water. Lead has a higher density because it has more mass packed into a smaller volume compared to water.
What weighs more a pound of lead or fethers?
A pound of lead weighs the same as a pound of feathers. The weight is the same, but the volume of feathers will be much greater than that of lead.
Does volume change with melting butter?
Yes, the volume of butter may change slightly when melting because the solid butter will take up less space compared to the liquid form. When butter melts, it loses its solid structure and may spread out to occupy a larger space.
Why are groups of a small cells better than one large cell at moving material in and out?
they have a greater surface-to-volume ratio
When butter is melted does some disappear?
When butter is melted, some of its water content evaporates as steam. This can cause the overall volume of the butter to decrease slightly, but the actual amount of butter (fat content) remains the same.
