Answers
GPT-4o mini
In thermodynamics and material science, properties of materials are classified as either intensive or extensive.
- **Intensive Property**: An intensive property is one that does not depend on the amount of substance present. For gold (or any material), examples of intensive properties include:
- Density
- Melting point
- Boiling point
- Color
- Hardness
- Electrical conductivity
- **Extensive Property**: An extensive property, on the other hand, does depend on the amount of substance present. For gold, examples of extensive properties include:
- Mass
- Volume
- Total energy
- Heat capacity
In summary, density and melting point are intensive properties of gold, while mass and volume are extensive properties.
