Characteristics that identify a sample of matter as a substance are simply whether it is matter or not. However, which substance the matter is can be identified through its density, melting point, conductivity, etc...

∙ 9y agoPhysical property is any characteristic of a material that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of the substances in the material. Some examples of physical properties are viscosity, conductivity, malleability, hardness, melting point, boiling point, and density.

∙ 14y ago"A sample of matter can be either a pure substance or a mixture. A pure substance has a fixed, characteristic composition an a fixed, definite set of properties. Pure substances are for example copper, salt, diamond, water, table sugar, oxygen, Mercury, vitamin C, and ozone. A pure substance may be a single element, such as copper or oxygen, or a compound of two or more elements in a fixed ratio, such as salt (39.34 % sodium and 60.66 % chlorine) or table sugar (42.11 % carbon, 6.48 % hydrogen, and 51.41 % oxygen). A mixture is a collection of pure substances simply mixed together. Its composition is variable, as are its properties. Examples of mixtures are milk, wood, concrete, saltwater, air, granite, motor oil, chocolate, and elephants." from: http://chemweb.ucc.ie/what_is_chemistry.htm

What are two physical properties that can that can vary when the substance with these physical properties that dose not change?
Temperature and amount of the substance do not change chemical properties.
What are the physical properties of a substance give three examples?
Examples: density, hardness, boiling point, refractive index.
How sodium chloride is a substance that has similar properties as sodium and chlorine or is it an entirely different substance with its own unique properties?
Sodium chloride is it an entirely different substance with its own unique properties.
How do scientifics tests help determine to properties of substance?
Characteristic properties are unique for every different substance.
How can physical properties be used to identify substance?
Every substance has certain properties that show things about them, such as odor, taste, malleability, hardness, color, state at room temperature, and melting/boiling point. If you know the color of a substance, it is far easier to determine what that substance is, and if you know the color and the boiling point, your choices are limited even further. Using the physical properties of a substance, you can identify the substance based off of its unique properties or combinations of properties.
How are characteristic properties of given substance different from its other properties and chemical properties?
A substance's characteristic properties are the most recognizable properties of that substance. Chemical properties are exhibited as one substance is chemically transformed into another (e.g., iron rusting).
What are the three main chemicals in cigarette smoke?
The main ingredients are Carbon Monoxide, Tar, and nicotine. However the properties of an unburned substance are different from a burned substance.
What properties changes when substance changes?
When a substance changes, any or all of its properties can also change.
What are two physical properties that can that can vary when the substance with these physical properties that dose not change?
Temperature and amount of the substance do not change chemical properties.
What are the physical properties of a substance give three examples?
Examples: density, hardness, boiling point, refractive index.
What is the relationship between the chemical properties of a substance and the chemical change of substance?
The chemical properties of an object show what a chemical change did to that substance.
What properties of a substance determines how that substance will react when combined with other substances?
properties of matter that determine how a substance reacts with other substances
What are the physical properties of the substance?
The physical properties of a substance are the substance's physical appearance. This includes the color, shape, weight, width, and height.
What are the three main reasons that a substance may have different properties?
Firstly (and most importantly) the actual chemical makeup of the compounds in terms of the specific elements involved, and those elements respective properties. Secondly the temperature, pressure, etc. at which a substance is at will affect the properties of the substance. Thirdly what other chemical compounds are effecting the substance, obviously different substances will react differently depending on what are reactants are present.
Compare and contrast chemical and physical properties?
Physical properties are characteristics of a pure substance that can be observed without changing it into another substance. Chemical properties are characteristics of a pure substance that describes its ability to change into different substance.
How sodium chloride is a substance that has similar properties as sodium and chlorine or is it an entirely different substance with its own unique properties?
Sodium chloride is it an entirely different substance with its own unique properties.
Are properties that can be observed or measured without changing a substance into a new substance?
Yes, these are thy physical properties of substances.
