About this document

Intensive vs Extensive Properties Explained by Deanna Rentegrado is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Intensive and extensive properties describe how physical properties change with the size of a system. - Intensive properties are independent of system size, like temperature and density. - Extensive properties depend on system size and are additive for subsystems, like mass and volume. - The ratio of two extensive properties gives an intensive property, like density being the ratio of mass and volume.
