If you take various lumps of copper, weigh them and find their volume, you find that the ratio mass/volume is always the same. If you do the same with silver, you get a constant ratio that is different to that of copper. Thus the ratio mass/volume (that we call density) is a property of the material (e.g.copper) rather than any particular lump.
