Because each compound has a specific boiling point (with some exceptions) comparing exactly determined boiling points we can identify compounds.

What physical property dose not identify a substance?
boiling point --------- Boiling point is a specific characteristic of a substance or element; the mechanical strength, the viscosity, the electrical resistivity are more difficult to be used for a sure identification of a substance.
How could you use the physical properties of melting and boiling point to identify a substance?
If you know the melting point and boiling point of a substance, you could look them up in a table to see what substances have those melting and boiling points. In practice, there are lots of other tests you'd probably want to do in addition, because in general there's no guarantee that an unknown substance is a single pure compound.
What is the significance of boiling point and melting point of a substance?
Melting points and boiling points are phyical constants which means specific compounds have specific melting/boiling points. Therefore you can identify a substance if you determine the mp/bp. Also you measure the purity of a mixture using melting point tests.
What temperature at which a substance in the liquid phase transforms to the gaseous phase refers to the substances?
boiling point
Explain why the boiling point and the melting point can be used to help identify substances?
100 degrees mate. 100 degrees Celsius is the boiling point for pure water at 1atm or sea level. The boiling point is useful in identifying chemical compounds. Chemical compounds have different boiling points that are specific to it' s chemical composition. If you know what the boiling point or melting point is you can also tell if your compound is pure, as any impurities will change these.
What physical property dose not identify a substance?
boiling point --------- Boiling point is a specific characteristic of a substance or element; the mechanical strength, the viscosity, the electrical resistivity are more difficult to be used for a sure identification of a substance.
How could the identify of a compound be established by melting point?
Pure substances have very specific melting (and boiling) points. Assuming the substance is pure you could measure the melting point and compare it to a known database of melting points.
What substance is affected by a boiling point?
The substances volume is affected by a boiling point
How could you use the physical properties of melting and boiling point to identify a substance?

Why can boiling points and freezing points be used to identify substance?
It's because substances have different boiling point and freezing point. By finding the exact boiling point and freezing point, you can identify a substance. Keep in mind that a material's melting point is the same as its freezing point. These are just different terms for the same thing, it just depends on whether energy is being removed from a substance (freezing) or if energy is being added to a substance (melting). The same thing also applies to the boiling/condensation point.
Boiling point of polar molecule?
The boiling point is specific for each substance.
How do the melting and boiling point determine the purity of the substance and identify them?
*usually* melting point is a good indicator of a substance's purity. The technique of melting point determination is used frequently in organic chemistry labs.
What is the significance of boiling point and melting point of a substance?
Melting points and boiling points are phyical constants which means specific compounds have specific melting/boiling points. Therefore you can identify a substance if you determine the mp/bp. Also you measure the purity of a mixture using melting point tests.
What is the process that changes a substance from a liquid to a gas below the substances boiling points?
it evaporates
How can the melting and boiling point help you identify it?
Each pure substance has its own unique melting and boiling point.
What is the boiling point of any substance?
different substances have different boiling points, a main reference to boiling points is the boiling point of water (H2O) which is 100 degrees Celsius
What do you mean by boiling process?
Boiling process is when a substance or liquid is boiled over a specific temperature. Once the temperature reaches the boiling point, the substance or liquid becomes vapor.
