In other words, these properties change when the size or quantity of the sample is altered. The examples of extensive properties in the list are <strong>volume<\/strong>, <strong>length<\/strong>, and <strong>state of matter<\/strong>. Here&#8217;s why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Volume<\/strong> is an extensive property because it is directly proportional to the amount of substance. The larger the sample, the greater the volume.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Length<\/strong> is also an extensive property because the length of an object depends on the amount of material it consists of. If you have more material, the length can be increased accordingly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>State of matter<\/strong> (solid, liquid, gas) is considered an extensive property because the state of matter in a system may vary depending on the amount of the substance. For instance, a larger quantity of a substance might exhibit different physical characteristics based on its state.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <strong>number of atoms<\/strong> is <strong>not<\/strong> an extensive property. It is an example of an <strong>intensive property<\/strong> because it does not change with the size or quantity of the sample. The number of atoms is fixed for a given amount of matter, and it remains constant regardless of the sample&#8217;s size. It is related to the composition of the substance rather than the size of the sample. Even if you break a large object into smaller pieces, the total number of atoms remains unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, while volume, length, and state of matter depend on the quantity of matter present, the number of atoms remains the same, making it an intensive property.<\/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-banner6-1168.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-261618\"\/><\/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.
