Matter is identified by the the study of physical and chemical properties.
Chemical and physical analysis
temperature cannot be used to identify a type of matter.
Color, odor, taste, and state of matter are not specific enough to uniquely identify a substance, as multiple substances may share these properties.
Some measurable characteristics of matter include mass, volume, density, temperature, and specific heat capacity. These properties can be quantified and used to describe and compare different substances.
Yes, a dichotomous key can be used to identify a specific mineral sample by asking a series of questions about its physical characteristics, such as color, luster, hardness, and streak. By following the key's set of paired choices based on these characteristics, you can narrow down the options and eventually identify the mineral.

The seven characteristics used to identify minerals are color, streak, luster, hardness, cleavage, fracture, and specific gravity. These properties can help differentiate one mineral from another based on their unique physical and chemical properties.

Binomial nomenclature is used to identify a specific organism, consisting of the genus and species names.
The characteristics used to differentiate between different kinds of matter are called properties. These properties can include physical properties (such as color, shape, and density) and chemical properties (such as reactivity, flammability, and acidity). By observing and analyzing these properties, we can identify and classify different types of matter.
Color, luster (appearance of light reflecting off the surface), streak (color of a mineral in powdered form), hardness (ability to resist scratching), cleavage (tendency to break along flat surfaces), and specific gravity (density compared to water) are physical characteristics used to identify minerals.
