   Property dependant on the amount of matter present, for instance, Mass.

   Examples of extensive properties:

   Mass
   Volume
   Entropy
   Energy
   Electrical resistance
   Texture
   Heat

   An extensive property of a system depends on the system size or the amount of material in the system. An intensive property on the other hand is a physical property of the system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system.

   Hopefully that gives you and idea and you found what you were looking for.

   Mass, volume, length… anything that has to do with size, basically.
