Accepted Answer

everyone today, we have a question asking us to determine whether the following is intensive or extensive property. So let's first remember our definitions intensive does not depend on amount, extensive does depend on the amount. Now, let's look at our options here, we're gonna start off with our refractive index. A refractive index is not going to depend on amount, so it is intensive, malleability, how soft or hard something is is not going to depend on the amount. So it is intensive activity is not going to depend on the amount, so it is intensive, our mass or how much of an object we have is going to depend on an amount. So it is extensive. Our melting point. At what point something melts is not going to depend on the amount. So it is intensive and these are our answers. Thank you for watching. Bye.
