Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the difference between extensive and intensive properties: Extensive properties depend on the amount of substance present, while intensive properties do not.
Review each option and determine if it changes when the quantity of the substance changes.
Color is an intensive property because it does not depend on the amount of substance; it remains the same regardless of quantity.
Volume is an extensive property because it depends on the amount of substance; more substance means greater volume.
Malleability and hardness are intensive properties because they describe the material's characteristics independent of the amount.
