A homogeneous thermodynamic system is defined as the one whose chemical composition and physical properties are the same in all parts of the system, or change continuously from one point to another.
An example of a heterogeneous system is water with ice floating in it. This system has two homogeneous bodies, water and ice. The chemical composition of the two phases is the same, but their physical properties differ drastically.

all of the above.
Property of a system are
* pressure and temperature
* internal energy
* volume and density
heat
Extensive properties The properties of the system, whose value for the entire system is equal to the sum of their values for the individual parts of the system, are called extensive properties.
For example, total volume, total mass and total energy of a system are extensive properties.
Intensive properties The properties of the system, whose value for the entire system is not equal to the sum of their values for the individual parts of the system, are called intensive properties.
For example, temperature, pressure and density of a system are intensive properties.
thermal conductivity
Heat and work are path functions because they depend on how a system changes from initial to final state, hence they are state functions.
Thermal conductivity is mainly a function of the motion of the free electrons therefore property of a material, not a path function.
