Physical Properties of Matter:

• Characteristics of matter that can be observed or measured without changing its composition.
• Examples: density, color, texture, and melting and boiling points.

Intensive Properties:

• Properties of matter that do not depend on the amount of matter present.
• Examples: density, temperature, and melting point.

Extensive Properties:

• Properties of matter that do depend on the amount of matter present.
• Examples: mass, volume, and energy.
