property that does not depend on the quantity of mass present
ex: color
intensive property
What are some common examples of intensive properties?
Temperature, pressure, density, specific heat capacity, boiling point, melting point, and refractive index.
Is mass an intensive or extensive property?
Extensive – because it depends on the amount of substance present.
Is density an intensive or extensive property?
Intensive – because it stays the same regardless of the amount of substance.
Why is boiling point an intensive property?
Because a substance will always boil at the same temperature under the same conditions, no matter how much of it is present.
Does increasing the amount of a substance change its intensive properties?
No, intensive properties remain the same no matter how much substance you have.
Is specific heat capacity (Cv or Cp) an intensive property?
Yes, because it is measured per unit mass or mole, making it independent of the total amount of substance.
What is an extensive property?
An extensive property is a physical property that depends on the amount of substance present.
What are some examples of extensive properties?
Mass, volume, total energy, total heat capacity, internal energy, and Gibbs free energy.
Why is volume an extensive property?
Because the more substance you have, the more space it occupies.
What happens to an extensive property if the amount of substance is doubled?
It also doubles because it depends on the quantity of the substance.
a high-energy state of matter where atoms lose their electrons, creating a mix of positively charged ions and free electrons.
Plasma
Plasma forms when a gas is heated to very high temperatures or exposed to a strong electromagnetic field, causing the atoms to lose electrons. This process is called
ionization
5th state of matter
Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC)
It happens when a group of atoms is cooled down to extremely low temperatures, close to absolute zero (-273.15°C or -459.67°F).
At this point, the atoms stop behaving like individual particles and instead act as one big “super-atom.” They lose their separate identities and move together in a wave-like manner.

6th state of matter
Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP).
It’s an extremely hot and high-energy state of matter where quarks and gluons, the building blocks of protons and neutrons, are free and not bound together like in normal atoms.
Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP).
It likely existed just microseconds after the Big Bang, before atoms were formed.

7th state of matter
fermionic condensate
8th state of matter
Superionic Ice
combination of two or more pure substances
mixture
substance that has a fixed chemical composition
pure substance
substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical means
element
