No, physical property is much broader because it is being used two ways -- most often not specifically of a material. It is not necessarily a property of a material, it can be of a system or object, not the material of which it is composed. For example mass and energy are not properties of a material but are physical properties of a particular system or object (which might perhaps be composed of some material(s)). Actually I would like to make two subclasses of physical property, one for the broad sense of *any* property of a physical system (whether a quantitative property of the system or qualitative like the phase of matter), and the other in the sense used only in chemistry where it is specifically the opposite of a chemical property.

Subclass of intensive quantity?[edit]

We currently have intensive quantity (Q3387041)subclass of (P279)physical quantity (Q107715). Having also thermodynamic material property (Q3523867)subclass of (P279)intensive quantity (Q3387041) would make material property a subclass of physical quantity. This seem incorrect because, even though some material properties are quantifiable, not all need to be. So I removed the latter statement. Toni 001 (talk) 22:14, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
