Intensive properties:

• • Depend on the amount of substance.

• • Are additive when substances are combined.

• • Remain constant regardless of the quantity of the substance.

• • Change when the substance changes phase.

Extensive properties:

• • Do not change during chemical reactions.

• • Are independent of the substance's physical state.

• • Include properties like density and boiling point.

• • Depend on the amount of substance.
