Intensive properties of matter are characteristic of a substance and do not depend on the amount of the substance. They are the same for every sample of a single substance. For example, density is an intensive property; a small piece or a large piece of gold has the same density. Properties that depend on how a substance was formed are not the definition of intensive properties. And intensive properties are not the same for every sample of every substance as different substances have different characteristic intensive properties. Also, they do not depend on the amount of substance present.
