Extensive properties have to do with the amount or size of a substance. Gold and copper samples can be made to have the same mass or the same volume, or the same number of moles, or atoms.
Samples of platinum and copper can have the same extensive properties but not the same intensive properties for a couple of reasons. These are both metals but have differing numbers of electrons.
Really none. That is why gold is so valuable. While other metals have similar properties to gold, none of them have the exact same. The closest metals to gold in terms of its properties are silver, platinum and palladium.
Silver has properties similar to gold and copper, as they all belong to the same group in the periodic table called the coinage metals. They share similar physical and chemical properties such as being malleable, ductile, and good conductors of electricity.
Yes, a broken atom of gold still retains the properties of gold. The properties of an element are determined by its atomic structure, so even if an atom is broken apart, it still contains the same number of protons, defining it as gold.
Forming a bar of gold into wire is a physical change. This is because the gold is being physically reshaped without undergoing a chemical reaction. The properties and composition of the gold remain the same throughout the process.
Samples of platinum and copper can have the same extensive properties but not the same intensive properties for a couple of reasons. These are both metals but have differing numbers of electrons.
Intensive properties depend only on the type of matter you're dealing with. For example, density: a single atom of gold will have the same density as a huge bar of gold, it doesn't matter how much of it there is. Extensive properties do depend on how much of the substance you have. A cubic centimeter of gold has more volume and mass than an atom of gold, so they are both extensive properties.
Copper is an element that is in the same family as gold and silver. All of these metals are in the same group on the periodic table. Because of their similarities in structure, these metals have similar properties
They do not have the same set of physical properties. At the very least they have different melting and boiling points, and different densities, and their colors are not identical.
The other stable elements in the same periodic column as gold are copper and silver.

no, gold is denser.
Silver has properties similar to gold and copper, as they all belong to the same group in the periodic table called the coinage metals. They share similar physical and chemical properties such as being malleable, ductile, and good conductors of electricity.
Density is an intensive property because it does not depend on the amount of matter present. If you have 2 grams of copper and 2000 grams of copper, they are going to have the same density. This cannot be said for extensive properties such as volume: 2 grams of copper will not have the same volume as 2000 grams of copper.See related questions below for more information.
