Can we consider temperature in general as "property" without even been associated to well defined states of matter.
Like the boiling and melting points.

Sultanphys said:Taking the definition of temperature as the measure of average kinetic energy per particle
I would say that a condition under which a substance is being kept (for instance its temperature) is not a 'Property'. Examples of properties would, imo, be its boiling point, its resistivity or its bulk modulus. Two different substances, with many differing properties can be side by side, in the same water bath and at the same Temperature.Sultanphys said:So the answer to my question that temperature can be considered as property in general is right?
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. In simpler terms, it is a measure of how hot or cold a substance is.
Temperature is typically measured using a thermometer, which contains a liquid (such as mercury or alcohol) that expands or contracts with changes in temperature. Digital thermometers use electronic sensors to measure temperature.
The most commonly used units for measuring temperature are degrees Celsius (°C) and degrees Fahrenheit (°F). In scientific contexts, Kelvin (K) is also used. 1°C is equal to 33.8°F and 0°C is equal to 273.15 K.
Temperature can affect matter in a variety of ways. It can cause substances to expand or contract, change state (such as from a solid to a liquid), or undergo chemical reactions. Temperature can also impact the behavior of particles in a substance, such as increasing their speed and causing them to collide more frequently.
Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature, where the particles in a substance have no kinetic energy. It is equivalent to 0 K or -273.15°C. This temperature has never been reached in a laboratory setting, and some theories suggest that it may be impossible to reach absolute zero.
