Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

From the definition we get that intensive property is that which does not changes with the change in matter or it is the bulk property.

While extensive property is that property which changes with the change in matter.

So, for zinc it will be intensive since its density will not change with the change in its weight.

For freezing point, it is also intensive property as it will not alter with the change in its weight or mass.

While Length is extensive property as it will change with change in bulk or matter.

Height is also extensive property since it also changes with change in length.
