Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of intensive properties: Intensive properties are those that do not depend on the amount of substance present. They are inherent to the material itself.
Review the given options: Elemental Magnetism, Density, Temperature, Milligrams, and Freezing Point.
Identify which properties are intensive: Density, Temperature, and Freezing Point are intensive properties because they do not change with the quantity of the substance.
Consider the option 'Milligrams': Milligrams is a unit of mass, which is an extensive property because it depends on the amount of substance present.
Conclude that 'Milligrams' is not an intensive property, as it is related to the quantity of the substance.
