* Intensive - Properties that do not depend on the amount of the matter present. ** Color ** Odor ** Luster - How shiny a substance is. ** Malleability - The ability of a substance to be beaten into thin sheets. ** Ductility - The ability of a substance to be drawn into thin wires. ** Conductivity - The ability of a substance to allow the flow of energy or electricity. ** Hardness - How easily a substance can be scratched. ** Melting/Freezing Point - The temperature at which the solid and liquid phases of a substance are in equilibrium at atmospheric pressure. ** Boiling Point- The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the pressure on the liquid (generally atmospheric pressure). ** Density - The mass of a substance divided by its volume * Extensive - Properties that do depend on the amount of matter present. ** Mass - A measurement of the amount of matter in a object (grams). ** Weight - A measurement of the gravitational force of attraction of the earth acting on an object. ** Volume - A measurement of the amount of space a substance occupies. ** Length

Extensive properties depend on the quantity of the substance present, such as mass or volume. Intensive properties are independent of the amount of substance, like temperature or density.
The main difference between an extensive and an intensive property is how they depend on the amount of substance. Extensive properties, like mass and volume, depend on the size or amount of the substance present. Intensive properties, such as density and temperature, do not depend on the amount and remain constant regardless of the quantity of the substance.
Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of the substance present (e.g. temperature, pressure), while extensive properties do depend on the amount of substance present (e.g. mass, volume). Intensive properties are useful for characterizing the nature of the substance, while extensive properties are useful for determining the size or amount of the substance.
Extensive properties depend on the amount of substance present, such as mass or volume. Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of substance present, and remain constant regardless of quantity, like density or temperature.
Temperature and heat are different but related intensive properties. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles, while heat is the transfer of energy between systems due to a temperature difference.
Work is an extensive property because it depends on the quantity of substance present. Work is not an intrinsic property of a substance, but rather a measure of energy transfer between a system and its surroundings.
