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.

Why does samples of platinum and copper can have the same extensive properties but not the same intensive properties?

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.


How is volume and mass extensive?

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.


Why can samples of gold and copper have the same set of physical properties but not the same set of chemical 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.


This element is in the same family as silver and gold?

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


Does a broken atom of gold have the same the properties as an atom of gold?

No. A "broken" atom of gold may be an ion, but it does not have the same chemical properties as an intact atom of gold.


Do gold and copper have the same density?

no, gold is denser.


Why density is intensive propertie?

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.

Which of gold and copper stay the same color on a roof?

Gold stays the same colour


Pretend that you have three coins that are exactly the same size and have the same patterns printed on the front and back two are copper one is called what properties would you use to decide which one is gold?

Metal


What other metals have the same properties as gold?

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.


Is copper more reactive than gold?

Even though gold and copper are in the same family, copper is much more reactive than gold. This is why Copper rusts more than gold, and why there are so many copper compounds (IE copper silicate...). Copper is higher in the family, giving it these characteristics.
