Answer:

Density is a physical property but volume isn’t because density is intensive property but volume is extensive property.

Explanation:

EXTENSIVE PROPERTY- A property of matter like volume and mass which depends on the amount of being measured is called extensive property.

INTENSIVE PROPERTY- A property of matter like colour and density which does not depend on the amount of the substance present is called intensive property.
