To Explain:Whether the material having high density has molecules which are heavier than the molecules of the material having low density.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Density can be defined as the ratio of the mass to the volume.
It is represented as
Its SI unit is
Mathematically,
In the material with higher density, the molecules are tightly packed and occupy a small volume which increase the density of the material. While in the material with lower density, the molecules are packed less closely together and occupy a larger volume whichdecrease the density of the material.
For example: weight of the atom of the gold is less than that of the lead because the
Conclusion:
Lesser the volume occupied by the molecules greater will be the density of the material.
