What is difference between extensive physical property and intensive physical property?

Answer 1

Anintensive property is a property of matter that is independent of the quantity of the substance. Density, boiling and melting points, and specific gravity are all intensive properties.

An extensive property depends on the quantity of a substance. Mass and volume are extensive properties.

Answer 2

An extensive physical property is something which varies in amount, such as weight, temperature, volume, and so forth. An intensive physical property is always the same in any sample, and does not vary in amount, for example, the melting point of a specific substance. No matter how much ice you may have, it always has the same melting point (0o C).

Answer 3

Extensive physical properties depend on the amount of substance present, such as mass or volume. Intensive physical properties do not depend on the amount of substance, rather they are characteristics that remain the same regardless of the quantity, like density or boiling point.
