In physics and chemistry an intensive property of a system is a physical property of the system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system. By contrast, an extensive property of a system does depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system.
Examples of intensive properties include:
* temperature
* viscosity
* density
* electrical resistivity
* melting point
* boiling point
* pressure
* spectral absorption maxima (in solution)
* flammability
Examples of extensive properties include:
* mass
* volume
* entropy
* energy
* electrical resistance
* texture
* heat

What is a property that depends on the extent or size of a system?
An extensive property is a property that depends on the size or extent of a system. Examples include mass, volume, and energy.
Is mass an extensive physical property?
Mass is not an intensive property, it is an extensive property, i.e. the mass of a system made of two parts A and B is equal to the mass of A plus the mass of B. An intensive property (e.g. pressure or temperature) is one in which the value of the property for the entire system is equal to the value of the property for any of the subsystems. So, you probably wanted to ask why mass is an extensive property. This is a consequence of the law of gravity and of the fact that forces add up to make a resultant force. The total gravitational force upon a body X by two other bodies A and B is the sum of the force exerted by A and the force exerted by B. It's as if we have a combined body with the mass of A plus the mass of B, and thus mass is extensive.
