Because the hardness is not dependent to the size of a material sample.
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.
Probable intensive: density, hardness, temperature etc.
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
To identify an unknown substance, you would typically use its intensive properties. Intensive properties, such as density, boiling point, and specific heat, are independent of the amount of substance present and are useful for identifying specific materials.
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.

The density, and valence of an element do not depend on the amount.
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
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.
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
Intensive properties of Matter are those that don't change with amount of the matter. Examples 1.Density 2.Boiling point 3.Melting Point 4.Freezing point 5.Conductivity 6.Hardness 7.Malleability 8.Ductility
Intensive, it sinks because of its density-which is intensive.
