an intensive property is the one that is independent from the mass of number of particles in a system while an extensive proeprty depends on them. Energy (e.g. heat) is a property that depend on the mass or the number of particles in a system. In other words, energy is an extensive property.
Temperature is INTENSIVE:
An intensive property is one that is independent of quantity. Example: Density.
Since we can measure the temperature of 1 gallon of a liquid and 1 fl. oz. of the same liquid and obtain the same reading, the temperature is independent of the volume.
Extensive properties vary as quantity of substance varies, or they are dependent on quantity. Example: Mass.
Extensive because weight depends on mass, and mass it is an extensive property, therefore weight is an extensive property.
Force is not a property. Therefore its neither extensive nor intensive.
Volume is extensive.
intensive
Enthalpy is an extensive quantity because an extensive quantity depends on the size of the molecule or the number of moles (how much of the molecule you have). Therefore think of a handful of gunpower vs. a storage room full of gunpower. Which reaction will have more enthalpy change? Yes, the room full of gunpower because there is more gunpowder in the reaction. This is an example of why enthalpy is an extensive quantity. Hope you understand now.
Potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position or condition. Energy is a property of objects.
In thermodynamics, intensive quantities do not depend on the size of the system. For example temperature and density are size-independent, intensive quantities.Extensive quantities, on the other hand, are proportional to the size of the system: volume is an obvious one, internal energy and entropy are others.A quick mental test is this: if I were to double the system's size by joining it to a duplicate of itself, would the relevant quantity remain the same or double? If it stays the same it is intensive, otherwise it is extensive.
chemical potential energy
The form of energy that is stored in an object due to its position above or below another point is called potential energy. There are three types of potential energy which are the elastic, electric, and gravitational potential energy.
intensive
No. Unit of surface tension is energy per area. An extensive property divided by an extensive property becomes intensive.

Yes. Intensive properties are properties which do not depend on the size of the system. Say you had a piece of ice, whether that piece of ice was extremely small or extremely large, the density of the ice would be the same, so it's considered an intensive property.
In physics and chemistry an intensive property of a system is a physical property of the system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system. By contrast, an extensive property of a system does depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system. Examples of intensive properties include: * temperature * viscosity * density * electrical resistivity * melting point * boiling point * pressure * spectral absorption maxima (in solution) * flammability Examples of extensive properties include: * mass * volume * entropy * energy * electrical resistance * texture * heat
An intensive physical property does not depend on the size of the sample. An example of an intensive physical property is density. An extensive physical property does depend on the size of the sample, such as mass and volume.
Potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position or condition. Energy is a property of objects.
There are many examples of extensive properties. Some are mass, energy content, and volume.
energy mass refractive index
volume; mass; pressure; hardness; (ie Volume = 1 m³, mass = 100kg, pressure = 14.7 psi, hardness = 25 brinell) EXTENSIVE depends on amount of something (eg 5 kg, 1 m³) Extensive properties => sum of parts = whole (150 lb + 150 lb = 300 lb) in otherwords, you can add them and the result in some bigger value. -------------------------------------------------------- don't read below this line unless you want to know about INTENSIVE properties... temperature is NOT an extensive property, (T). specific volume is NOT an extensive property, (m³/kg). specific anything is NOT and extensive property (.../kg). Intensive properties => sum of parts /= whole (ie 98.6°F + 98.6°F == 98.6°F) the temperature of you big toe + temperature of left pinky does not combine to equal temperature of your body.
Its either due to kinetic energy, potential energy, or mass
