Match the vocabulary word with its definition. Match the items in the left column to the items in the right column.

1. Mass per unit volume
inorganic
2. Resistance of a material to being scratched
organic
3. Compounds that contain carbon
density
4. Compounds that do not contain carbon
hardness

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is defined as the amount of mass present in per unit volume of a substance.

Mathematically, Density =
(mass)/(volume)

An organic substance is defined as the substance that contains carbon and hydrogen atoms as their main elements.

Whereas a substance that does not contain carbon atom is known as an inorganic compound.

Hardness of a substance is defined as the closeness within the molecules of a substance such that it resists a scratch.

Therefore, the given items are correctly matched as follows.

1. Mass per unit volume - density

2. Resistance of a material to being scratched - hardness

3. Compounds that contain carbon - organic

4. Compounds that do not contain carbon - inorganic

Most of these can't be expanded. They are almost exact definitions.

1 Mass per unit volume Density

2 Resistance to being scratched Hardness

3 Compounds containing Carbon Organic

4 Compounds with no Carbon Inorganic
