~ Matter: Volume ~

REMEMBER !!!

Volume is the amount of space occupied by matter!

2 bottles of the same shape and size can have the same volume, but it does not mean that the mass is the same!

1 bottle can be made of plastic, while the other is made of a heavier material like metal, so the mass can be different!!

Definite = fixed = won't change

Example:
Liquid has definite volume.
Solid has definite volume and shape.
