for the same volume of both, 5 grams is less dense. Your question shows that you do not understand what Density means. If you want to compare densities of different substances, you must say what the substances WEIGH, and also say what the VOLUME is, of each of them. DENSITY is always expressed in gram/cc (gram per cubic centimetre.). A cube which measures exactly 1cm on all of it's 12 edges, has a volume of exactly 1cubic cm. EXAMPLE of density:- The Density of Aluminium is about 3gm/cc. The density of Steel is about 8 gm/cc. Scientists always measure density by finding the weight of a substance which occupies a volume of 1 cubic cm. I have a booklet which lists the density of every commonly used metal, and rubber and timber. Different timbers have different densities. Timber density can be as low as 0.2gm/cc and as high as 2gm/cc. Always remember that the density of pure WATER is exactly 1gm/cc. A commonly used term is Relative Density, which means the ratio of a substance density compared to WATER. So, you can see that the Relative Density of Aluminium is simply 3, because it's density is 3 times as much as the density of the most common substance on earth(which never changes no matter where it comes from, but it must be PURE Water.) I hope that helps you understand how to talk about Density.

grams are a measure of mass and density is mass per volume, so neither are greater because neither are density values.

Gram (g) is a measure of mass, not of density.
