Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The melting point of ice is 00 C. This is an example of ____
A
physical intensive property
B
physical extensive property
C
Chemical change
D
Chemical property
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So the boiling point is an intensive property. Likewise, melting point is also an intensive property. Other examples of intensive properties include density, solubility, color, luster, freezing point and malleability.

Detailed explanation-2: -Intensive properties, in contrast, do not depend on the amount of the substance; they include color, melting point, boiling point, electrical conductivity, and physical state at a given temperature.

Detailed explanation-3: -Temperatures, density, colour, melting and boiling point, etc., all are intensive properties as they will not change with a change in size or quantity of matter.

Detailed explanation-4: -Physical properties are characteristics of a substance. They do not change. Physical properties include color, smell, freezing/melting point, and density. The freezing point of water is the same as the melting point of ice: 32°F (0°C).

Detailed explanation-5: -Melting ice is a not a chemical change, it’s a physical change. Ice is solid water, and after it melts, it’s liquid water. The point is, it’s still water. There is no chemical change during the melting process.
