For example, 2 liters of water has twice the volume of 1 liter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Number of atoms<\/strong> \u2013 This is also an extensive property because the number of atoms is directly related to the quantity of the substance. If you double the amount of substance, you double the number of atoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Length<\/strong> \u2013 Length is an extensive property. For example, if you have a piece of string and you cut it in half, each half has a different length. The total length depends on how much material there is.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>State of matter<\/strong> \u2013 This is <strong>not<\/strong> an extensive property. The state of matter (solid, liquid, or gas) is an <strong>intensive<\/strong> property. It depends on temperature and pressure, not the quantity of the material. For instance, a glass of water and a bucket of water can both be in the liquid state even though they have very different amounts of matter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, <strong>the state of matter is not an extensive property<\/strong>. It does not change with the size or amount of the sample. It is more related to the physical conditions the matter is under.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, among the options given, the only <strong>non-extensive<\/strong> property is <strong>state of matter<\/strong>, making it the <strong>correct exception<\/strong> in this question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/learnexams-banner6-770.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-257445\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All of the following are examples of EXTENSIVE properties of matter EXCEPT volume, number of atoms, length, and the state of matter.
