Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the difference between extensive and intensive properties. Extensive properties depend on the amount of substance present, while intensive properties do not.
Identify the properties listed in the problem: Boiling Point, Temperature, Moles, Polarity, and Reactivity.
Determine which of these properties depend on the quantity of the substance. Extensive properties include mass, volume, and moles, as they change with the amount of substance.
Recognize that 'Moles' is an extensive property because it directly depends on the quantity of nitrogen molecules present.
Conclude that the extensive property of a nitrogen molecule from the given options is 'Moles', as it varies with the amount of substance.
