If the material is pure and homogeneous, i.e. "the same throughout", then the density is
independent of the size of the sample. A chip the size of a pinhead and a chunk the size of
a truck have the same density.
Density is an intrinsic property, not an extensive property of matter. This is because it DOES NOT depend on the size of the sample (amount). The density of a small piece of matter is the same as the density of a larger piece of that same matter.
A small piece or part of something like a piece of glass is called a shard.
A small piece of something, like chocolate, could be referred to as a "bite" or a "morsel."
The chemical composition and intrinsic properties, such as density, melting point, boiling point, and specific heat capacity, will remain the same regardless of the sample size. These properties are characteristic of the substance itself and do not change with the amount of the sample.
A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together, while a particle is a general term for any small piece of matter. All molecules are particles, but not all particles are molecules.
The density of a small piece of matter and a large piece of matter would be the same if they are made of the same material. Density is a physical property that remains constant regardless of the size or shape of the object, as long as the material composition is consistent.
The small piece of aluminum will have greater density than the large piece of aluminum. Density is mass divided by volume, so for the same material, a smaller piece will have more mass per unit volume compared to a larger piece.
Density refers to the mass of a material in a given volume (same volume for all materials)
The same.

Any sample of the same substance has the same density,no matter how large or small the sample is.
The larger piece will probably have more mass than the smaller one. But if the wood is of the same type and "all things are equal" as regards moisture content, sap content, etc., the density of both pieces of wood will be the same. Density does not depend on the size of a sample. Density is mass per unit of volume. If a large gold nugget and a small gold nugget are compared, the larger nugget will have more mass, but both nuggets will have the same density.
becasue the alluminum is denser than the copper.
A small piece of lead has the greatest density among the options listed. Lead has a high density compared to water, icebergs, and aluminum.
"Wood" may not be uniform and homogeneous ... there may be knots, voids, rough grain, etc. So it's a poor choice of material to illustrate the important principle here. The principle is: Provided the sample is homogeneous, like plastic or a refined metal, every piece of it, no matter how large or small, has the same density. Density is a property of the substance, without any reference to the shape or size of the sample. If the block is cut into pieces, no matter how many, and no matter whether they're the same size or different sizes, every piece should have the same density as the aggregate block had before it was cut.
atom
"large density" ===> (relatively large mass) fits into (relatively small volume)
