We are all surrounded by matter on a daily basis. Anything that we use, touch, and etc. is an example of matter. Matter can be defined or described as anything that takes up space, and it is composed of miniscule particles called atoms. It must display the two properties of mass and volume.Physical properties are used to observe and describe matter
An intensive property is a bulk property, meaning that it is a physical property of a system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system. Examples of intensive properties include temperature, refractive index, density, and hardness of an object. When a diamond is cut, the pieces maintain their intrinsic hardness (until their size reaches a few atoms thick). In contrast, an extensive property is additive for independent, non-interacting subsystems. The property is proportional to the amount of material in the system
Intensive properties: A physical property that will be the same regardless of the amount of matter
ρ=mvcolor: The pigment or shade
density:Mass/Volum
conductivity: electricity to flow through the substance
malleability: if a substance can be flattened
luster: how shiny the substance looks
Extensive Properties: A physical property that will change if the amount of matter changes.
mass: how much matter in the sample
volume: How much space the sample takes up
length: How long the sample is
