Intensive property means the ability to be self-reliant, as it is the ability of not depending on the amount of matter present. Extensive property is, on the contrary, the ability to depend. Intensive property is the characteristic of a material that makes its substance identifiable; it doesn’t change. Extensive property can be easily identified for it changes depending on the substance added to it.
Concerning the examples of extensive properties, they are: mass, volume, energy; intensive properties examples: temperature, pressure, density.
