"Teaspoon" is a unit of volume, or occupied space.
"Milligram" is a unit of mass.

The number of milligrams of mass in each teaspoon depends on what substance
is in the teaspoon. The teaspoon may have no milligrams of anything in it at all.
Then we would describe the teaspoon by saying that it is "empty".

The number that relates the amount of mass of a substance in a volume of it is called
the "density" of the substance. Every substance has a different density.

For example ... 1 cubic centimeter of water has 1 gram (1,000 milligrams) of mass,
whereas the same volume ... 1 cubic centimeter ... of gold has 19.3 grams of mass.
