What are the two type of changes?

The two types of physical properties are intensive and extensive. Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of a substance. An example of an intensive property is density. Extensive properties do depend on the amount of a substance. An example of an extensive property is mass.


What type of property of matter is independent of the quantity of the substance?

An example of a property of matter that is independent of the quantity of the substance is density. Density is a physical property that remains constant regardless of the amount of a substance present.


Does density vary with the of volume of a body?

The density of an object is its mass divided by its volume.The density of an object varies inversely with its volume.Thus, if you can compress and object, like a sponge, you can increase its density.Normally, we say the density of a type of material is an intrinsic property, i.e. if you have a big piece of it or a small piece of it, they both have the same density because the large piece has a proportionately larger volume than the small piece.So, a gallon of water has the same density as a milliliter of water.Note the distinctions here.1. An object, like a car, can be made of many different materials and the object, as a whole, has some density which is the mass of the car divided by the volume of the car. If you crush the car, you increase its density.2. Each type of material also has a density. The glass in the window of the car has its own density, a property inherent in that type of glass. The steel in the car has the density of steel, a property inherent in that type of steel.If you have a type of material and you compress it, you increase its density.If you don't compress it, then two different pieces of the same uniform material, large or small, will have the same density under the same conditions of pressure and temperature. That is what we mean by density is an intrinsic property of a material.


What is an example for an intensive property?

An example of an intensive property is density. Density is a characteristic of a substance that does not depend on the amount of the substance present. It remains the same regardless of the sample size.


Is buoyancy a chemical property?

Yes, buoyancy is considered a physical property. It is a type of physical property because it is related to the density and weight of the item, which are both physical.


What property is generally least useful in identifying minerals?

Density is the least useful property for identification because different specimens of the same type of mineral can vary in size. -Color is the least useful property for identification because it is the most obvious property.


What is a property of matter that can only be observed by changing that basic nature of the matter?

The property you're referring to is called intrinsic property. This type of property can only be observed by altering the fundamental nature of the matter itself, such as its atomic structure or composition. Examples include mass, density, and specific heat capacity.


What is the density of rocket fuel?

The density of rocket fuel can vary depending on the type of fuel being used. For example, the density of liquid hydrogen fuel is about 70.85 kg/m^3, while the density of RP-1 (a type of kerosene) is about 810 kg/m^3. Solid rocket fuel densities can range from about 1,000 to 1,900 kg/m^3.


What property can be observed without destroying the substance?

This type of property is a physical property.


1 Bending a copper wire is an example of what type of property?

It is a physical property. Malleability is a physical property in lots of metals (including copper). It is not a characteristic property, because it is not unique to copper. (Other metals share the same property).


This type of property can be observed without destroying the original substance?

Physical properties can be observed without altering the chemical composition of the substance. Examples include color, shape, size, density, and melting point.


What is the phenomenon of seismic waves bending as they go from material of one density to a different density is?

This property is known as refraction. It applies to any type of waves. the angle of refraction is determined by Snell's Law: sin i/ sin r = refraction index
