Hello,

An intensive property is a property of matter that does not change as the amount of matter changes. It is a bulk property, which means it is a physical property that is not dependent on the size or mass of a sample.

Examples of extensive properties include mass and volume. The ratio of two extensive properties, however, is an intensive property (e.g., density is mass per unit volume).

Hello dear student,

Physical properties of materials and frameworks can regularly be ordered as being either serious or broad, as per how the property changes when the size (or degree) of the framework changes. As indicated by IUPAC, a concentrated amount is one whose greatness is free of the size of the system  while a broad amount is one whose extent is added substance for subsystems. So the important thing to be kept in mind about intensive property is that it is independent of the size or the amount of the mass. An escalated property is a mass property, implying that it is a neighborhood physical property of a framework that doesn't rely upon the framework size or the measure of material in the framework. Instances of serious properties incorporate temperature, T

I hope this was helpful

Best wishes

Hello there!

Greetings!

An intensive property is a property of matter that does not change as the amount of matter changes. Examples are boiling point, pressure, molecular weight and density. Let us try to understand this, let us consider that I gave you 1 litre of water and asked you to boil it and measure it's boiling point, and again asked you to measure boiling point of 2 litre of water . And as a result you found that boiling point in both the case is 100 degree Celsius. So now it's clear that even when amount of water is increased, the boiling point remains the same and so boiling point is an intensive property as it doesn't vary when amount of matter is changed.
Thankyou
