characteristic property :)
One example of a property that remains constant regardless of sample size is density. Density is the mass of a substance per unit volume, and it stays the same no matter how much of the substance is present.
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.
Density is an intensive property because the size of the sample does not matter.
Mass is an example of an extrinsic property, because an extrinsic property is one that varies with and depends on the size and amount of the sample. Obviously, the more of the sample you have, the greater will be the mass. Thus, mass is an extrinsic property. Compare this to density. It doesn't matter how much of the sample you have, the density will be the same. Density is an intrinsic property.
The property that depends on the size of the sample is extensive. Extensive properties, such as mass and energy, scale with the size of the sample. This means that as the sample size increases, the value of the property also increases proportionally.
The density of the small piece of matter and the large piece of matter is the same because density is a characteristic property of a material and is independent of the amount or size of the material. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume, so as long as the material is the same, the density will remain constant.
it has no effect. density of a substance is the same no matter the size or shape of the sample.

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.
An example of an intensive property is density. Density is a characteristic of a substance that does not depend on the amount of the substance present. It remains the same regardless of the sample size.
Density is an intensive property - not dependent on the mass.
Matter has got mass. Matter occupy space. The formula of density is mass upon volume. So matter has got density. So matter has to have density. That is why density is considered as intrinsic property of the matter.
