Each element has an unique set of attributes, just like fingerprints. One of the most common attributes of elements used is its spectral signature. When an element is excited, it emits photons on specific frequencies. These frequencies can then be used to map things such as the chemical composition of distant exo-planet atmospheres or moons, such as Titan.
