Is hardness extensive or intensive?
No matter what size a sample is, if is hard, it will still be just as hard. This means that hardness is an intensive properties. Intensive properties do not matter what size of sample is being used. Extensive properties will change if sample size is changed.
If you had an unknown substance and were asked to identify it would you use the intensive or extensive properties of the substance?
Intensive properties are independent from the mass of an object: density, hardness, melting point.
What is an example of insensitive property?
Probable intensive: density, hardness, temperature etc.
Is hardness an entensive property?
Hardness, young pupil is an extensive property, because it pertains to more physical properties. Intensive properties are usually associated with the chemical structure of the element. XDDXDXDXDXD
What is a property that does not depend on the amount of element?
The density, and valence of an element do not depend on the amount.
What is an example of intensive physical property?
Examples of extensive properties are: mass, volume, length, Heat, Force e.t.c Examples of intensive properties are: color,shape, boiling point, melting point, density, luster, hardness and taste
Is hardness a intensive or extensive physical property?
Hardness, as far as being the hardness of a material, is a physical property of a system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system: it is scale invariant.Added:Hardness is dependent on ductility, elasticity, plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity, and viscosity.There are three main types of hardness measurements: scratch, indentation, and rebound.

Is color an extensive or intensive physical property?
no,color is an INTENSIVE PROPERTY of matter. intensive properties includes: *solubility *hardness *electrical conductivity *odor *luster *color *malleability *ductility an extensive property is something that depends on the amount of the substance you are measuring. an example would be mass An intensive quantity does not depend on the amount of the substance. Ex: density Also since the color of a substance does not change if i take 1g or 100 g of a substance the color is an intensive property.
What is the meaning of intensive matter?
Are those that do not depend on the amount of substances of the object.The most common intensive property is the color. Other intensive properties are hardness,brittleness,elasticity,malleability.ductility,porosity,viscosity,solubility,and density.This answer is from an grade five student studying in Colegio De Santa Ana in Taguig Metro Manila 11/3/09
The amount of an element present does not affect the elments what?
Any intensive property such as density, conductivity, hardness, melting point, boiling point, ductility, malleability, or state or matter.
What is an example for an intensive property?
Intensive properties are those properties that are independent of mass or size. Examples would be temperature, density, etc. Regardless of how much you have, the density is the same, and the temperature is the same.
