| matter | anything that has mass and volume |
| mass | amount of matter in an object |
| property | characteristic of a substance |
| inertia | tendency of objects to remain in motion or to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force |
| gravity | force of attraction that depends on the mass of two objects and the distance between them |
| weight | measure of force of attraction between two objects due to gravity |
| volume | amount of space an object takes usp |
| general properties of matter | mass, weight, volume, and density |
| specific properties of matter | color, odor, size, shape, texture, and hardness |
| density | mass per unit volume of an object |
| formula for density | density equals mass divided by volume |
