Why would you need to study several characteristic properties before determining the identity of a substance?

You need to study several characteristic properties before determining the identity of a substance because there're many types of characteristic properties. Therefore, in order for you to determine the identity of a substance, you must understand the relationship between the characteristic properties. To learn about the different types of characteristic properties, visit: http://www.cuesd.tehama.k12.ca.us/maywood/staff/farmer/characteristic_properties.htm

How can so many substances in the world be made of so few elements?

The properties of a subtance depend not only on the atoms/elements it contains, but also the bonding patterns between them. In some cases, ie hydrogen peroxide and water, different bonds exist in one material which gives it different properties, such as the oxygen-oxygen peroxide bond. In other materials such as diamond and graphite, the same atoms are bonded together (in this example, carbon), but the crystal structure is different, thereby conveying vastly different properties to substances that seem similar. Thus, due to different atoms bonding and changes in crystal structure, many compounds can be formed from only a few elements.
