Why are volume and mass not characteristic properties of matter?

Answer 1

A characteristic property is a chemical or physical property that helps identify and classify substances. The characteristic properties of a substance are always the same whether the sample you are observing is large or small. Therefore, mass and volume are measurements of how much of a thing you have rather than classifying.

Answer 2

Volume and mass are not characteristic properties of matter because they can change depending on the conditions (e.g., temperature, pressure). Characteristic properties, such as density and chemical composition, remain the same regardless of the amount or form of the substance.

Answer 3

Because more that one thing can have the same volume or mass. A characteristic property is a property that only that substance/object has.

Answer 4

Mass and volume are measurements of how much of a thing you have. A property of matter would be something like density, which is a constant description of a material.
