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.

What property of matter is density?
Density depends on temperature, pressure and purity of a material.
Why is density considered an intrinsic property of matter?
Matter has got mass. Matter occupy space. The formula of density is mass upon volume. So matter has got density. So matter has to have density. That is why density is considered as intrinsic property of the matter.
What is the property of matter to float or sink?
Depends on the density of the matter to the density to the liquid.
Compare general properties of matter from specific properties of matter?
A 'specific' property is a property that depends on or is calculated based on another measurable property. You give an example of density; density is considered 'specific' because it can be calculated from volume and mass. Some other good examples are: - specific gravity - the density of a material relative to the density of water (volume and mass of the object, known density of water) WHILE There are four different properties of matter. They are weight, volume, mass, and density. The most important one is mass. Mass is the amount of matter in an object and it never changes unless matter is taken out of the object.olume is another general property of matter. Density is very important because it enables you to compare different objects.weight is the force on the object due to gravity.
Density is a measurable property of matter. How can the density of a substance be determined?
He
Is density a physical or chemical property of matter?
It is a physical property of matter.
What property of matter is density?
Density depends on temperature, pressure and purity of a material.
Is the density of iron a physical or chemical change?
Density is a physical property (not -'change'). It is a socalled intensive physical property of matter.
What tool is density?
Density is a physical property of matter: it is not a tool.
Is density a physical property of matter?
Yes
What property is the state of matter?
Density and state of matter are physical properties, its not chemical =p.
Density is a blank property of matter?
Your question does not have just one inevitable answer. Density is a tangible, physical, measurable, significant property of matter.
A physical property that depends on the amount of matter in the substance is?
a physical property that depends on the amount of matter present
Which physical property of matter is used to isolate the cells?
density
Why is density considered physical property rather than a chemical property of matter?
The density doesn't involve chemical reactions, chemical changes. The density is a measurable property.
Is destiny extensive or intensive physical property?
Density is an intensive property because the size of the sample does not matter.
What is the vocabulary for state of matter?
physical property chemical property density dependent property independent property Hope this was a help at all
