These are all intensive properties, often described as bulk properties. Other properties of matter that deserve mention are refractive index, temperature, and hardness, for example. There are other properties we can mention here, but those fall under these six, which are considered the most important. Out of those six, four are intensive, while the other two are extensive. The six physical properties are color, density, volume, mass, boiling point, and melting point.

In order for us to measure or observe them, we do not need to change the composition of the substance. Extensive properties, such as volume and mass, depending on the amount of substance we are measuring, while intensive properties, such as color and density, do not. Extensive and intensive properties are just physical properties but divided into two specific groups. On the other hand, chemical properties can only be measured or observed when we change the chemical identity of a substance. Things like volume and color fall under this category. Physical properties are those that can be measured or observed without changing the chemical composition of a matter. We also differentiate between extensive and intensive properties of matter. Several properties are considered to be essential, and those are most often divided into physical and chemical properties. For example, we can determine that wood is mostly brown, thereby detecting its property of color. We can usually measure those properties, and determine the size, weight, or the composition of a matter. All matter has certain properties that define it.
