    Intensive property does not depend on the quantity of the material.
    E.G. Temperature, Pressure, Density and such.
    Extensive property depends on how much material is involved.
    E.G. Volume, Mass, Momentum, Energy, Entropy and such.

    In other words intensive properties independent with mass..extensive properties dependent with mass 😀

    Actually mass itself is an extensive property.
    Better consider it as the amount of material.
