Colligative properties are those that depend on the number of particles present in a solution, rather than their nature or type. Osmotic pressure (I) and freezing point depression (IV) are two colligative properties, as they both depend on the number of solute particles present in a solution. Molar mass (II), density (III), and boiling point (V) are not colligative properties, as they depend on other factors such as the nature of the solute and the solvent, or the pressure exerted on the solution.
