It is not clear what you are asking. Perhaps this will help.

!f you take a liter of pure fresh water and weigh it, it will weigh 1000 grams (a kilogram).

If you then add 10 grams of salt to the water and stir the salt until it has all dissolved and measure the volume of the now salty water, the volume of the salt water will still measure exactly one liter.

However if you weigh the liter of salt water it will weigh 1010 grams.

This means that there are now more particles (atoms) occupying the same space - the DENSITY of the salt water is higher than the fresh water.
