When any change in matter is not responsible for changing the characteristic of the reaction, the amount of matter we would have intensive properties. These properties, which we know as temperature or density, remain constant even when the matter's size or quantity changes. On the other hand, we would have extensive properties in substances when they change when the amount or quantity in the system changes.
