Extensive means covering over a big area. This word is a adjective.

Extensive properties are those that depend on the "extent" of the material ... that is, how much of it there is. (The opposite are intrinsic properties, which are the same for all samples of the same material.) Some examples are surface area, shape, and size. Intrinsic properties would be things like taste, solubility, and color (usually).

In the physical sciences, an intensive property (also called a bulk property), is a physical property of a system that is not depending on the system size or the amount of material in the system: it is scale invariant.

By contrast, an extensive property of a system is directly proportional to the system size or the amount of material in the system (see examples below).

For example, density is an intensivequantity (it does not depend on the quantity), while massand volume are extensive quantities. Note that the ratio of two extensive quantities that scale in the same way is scale-invariant, and hence an intensive quantity.

Examples of extensive properties include volume, mass, weight and length etc.

Examples of intensive properties include temperature, state of matter (gas / solid), density, pressure etc.

Some intensive properties, such as viscosity, are empirical macroscopic quantities and are not relevant to extremely small systems.

The major extensive properties are surface area, volume, and mass and physical properties related to mass, such as weight, momentum, and kinetic energy. Most chemical properties, such as concentration, elemental composition, relative contents of constituents, are intensive.

An extensive property is a property that changes when the size of the sample changes. Examples are mass, volume, length, and total charge.
