Take two containers of equal sizes and fill one cotton and other with sand completely. Let's  lift these containers Which one is heavier? Containers of equal volume filled with cotton and sand container heavier one. Therefore we say that density of sand is more than cotton. Density of a substance is its mass per unit volume. The thing which has more mass in a fixed volume is highly dense.In this way we group different objects in different groups. Grouping of materials is convenient in many ways. Storage by grouping thing makes easier to find them. Like in grocery storage by grouping things makes easier to find them. Like in grocery store the shopkeeper group materials on the basis of priority in use, which make it easy to explore. Which one is heavier?
