This depends on many factors. The identification is made by methods of analytical chemistry.
The chemistry of fermium is unknown.
That is unknown, sorry
Unknown substances can be analysed by a chemist.
The periodic table is complete for all known elements and has no gaps that could be filled with unknown elements. However the periodic table is inherently open ended, additional radioactive elements can in principle always be added beyond the most massive known element if we create them in particle accelerators (such elements may have also been created in the initial moments of supernova explosions). However all of these new elements are very difficult to create and even more difficult to detect and verify once created as they decay back to known lighter elements almost instantly.
90 naturally occurring elements, unknown number possible elements.
Because during his time many elements were unknown. Hence the gap for the unknown elements.
The unknown elements are... well, unknown. However, it seems unlikely that there are 100 elements in addition to the known elements, for stability reasons: in generalm terms, the heavier the nucleus, the more unstable it becomes.
If an unknown substance cannot be broken down into simpler substances it is made of one kind of atom and an element.
Kouton = Metal Elements. It is unknown which elements make it.
unknown
heat it
It can react with Hydrogen, Litium and some unknown elements.

Knowing the solubility of an unknown substance in water can help you calculate its molarity. It is however important to get its weight first.
