The density of a material may differ as it changes state.
The density of a material may differ as it changes state.

Changing the state of a material from solid to gas, for example, generally makes the material more dense.

The true statement among the options provided is:

Some physical properties, like mass, volume, and density, depend on how much material you have.

  • The first statement is also partially true, as density can change with state, but it does not specify that density is generally higher or lower in different states.
  • The second statement is incorrect; changing from solid to gas usually results in lower density, not higher.
  • The third statement is misleading because not all physical properties, such as color or boiling point, depend on the amount of material present.

Therefore, the fourth statement is indeed the true one.
