Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not correct to say that an object with the largest volume has the largest mass.

Mass and volume are not directly related. In fact, the relationship between them can be direct or inverse.

Mass is the amount of matter in a substance. Volume is the space a body occupies.

  • A balloon and a stone for example is a typical one.
  • A balloon has more volume but far lesser mass compared to a stone.
  • A stone, gravel sized has low volume but more massive than a balloon.

Therefore, it is wrong to say a balloon has more mass because it has more volume.
