Activity 5: Density

1. Neutral Lithium Atom:


Protons: 3
Electrons: 3
Neutrons: 3
Density: .534

Neutral Boron Atom:

Protons: 5
Electrons: 5
Neutrons: 6
Density: 2.08


2. Density is the mass per unit volume.  Mathmatically density is defined as mass divided by volume.

d =m/V

5. Wisconsin Science Standards:

A.4.3 When investigating a science-related problem, decide what data can be collected to determine the most useful explanations
C.4.5 Use data they have collected to develop explanations and answer questions generated by investigations
D.4.1 Understand that objects are made of more than one substance, by observing, describing and measuring the properties of earth materials, including properties of size, weight, shape, color, temperature, and the ability to react with other substances
D.4.3. Understand that substances can exist in different states-solid, liquid, gas
