Electric Conductivity
Density
DENSIDAD
The density of a substance is its
mass per unit volume. It gives an
idea of the weight of a material.
¿Qué es más denso?

ACERO CORCHO
 Thermal It is the property of a material to

conductivity
conduct heat

CONDUCTIVIDAD
TÉRMICA
 Electric It is a material's ability to conduct

conductivity
an electric current.
