What is intensive property? Give one example.

An intensive property is a physical or chemical property of a substance that does not depend on the amount or size of the material in the system. In other words, intensive properties are intrinsic characteristics that remain constant regardless of the quantity of the substance you have. These properties are useful for identifying and characterizing substances, and they are often used in the study of thermodynamics and materials science.

One common example of an intensive property is temperature. Regardless of the amount of a substance you have, its temperature remains the same at a given point in space and time. If you have a cup of hot water and a pot of hot water, both containers will have the same temperature if measured at the same location, even though the amount of water in the cup is much less than in the pot. Temperature is a fundamental intensive property used in many areas of science and engineering. Other examples of intensive properties include pressure, density, color, and refractive index.
