Density is an intensive property, meaning it does not depend on the size or amount of the substance.
To find out if an object will float or sink, compare its density with that of water (1000 kg/m3). If it's lessdense than water, it floats; if moredense, it sinks.
If two objects have different densities but are made up of the same material, they must differ in shape or size.
Gas has low density compared to liquids and solids due to their largevolumes relative to their masses.
