    Hi,

    That's FALSE. An intensive physical property is one that is independent of the size of the sample. Mass, on the other hand, is an extensive physical property, because it is dependent on the size of the sample.

    False

    Explanation:

    Physical properties of matter can be broadly classified into two categories:

    -Intensive property

    -Extensive property

    Intensive properties are independent of the size or mass of matter i. e. they do not change as 'quantity' of matter changes. This includes: density, temperature, pressure etc

    Extensive properties, in contrast are mass dependent and change as the amount of matter changes. Some examples include: mass, volume etc

    The statement that mass is an intensive physical property because it is dependent on the size of the sample is False, instead mass is an extensive property.
