Why are volume and mass not characteristic properties of matter?

Answer 1

A characteristic property is a chemical or physical property that helps identify and classify substances. The characteristic properties of a substance are always the same whether the sample you are observing is large or small. Therefore, mass and volume are measurements of how much of a thing you have rather than classifying.

Answer 2

Because more that one thing can have the same volume or mass. A characteristic property is a property that only that substance/object has.

Answer 3

Mass and volume are measurements of how much of a thing you have. A property of matter would be something like density, which is a constant description of a material.
