How can chemical and physical properties help identify substances?
Certain combinations of physical properties are unique, so if you have a substance that needs identifying, you can measure its properties and use the results to figure out what you have been measuring. For example, if you have a transparent liquid with a density of 1 g/ml, a refractive index of 1.3330, chances are you're looking at water.
What is the difference between a characteristic property and non-characteristic property?
PHYSICAL (smell, color, texture, size, etc)--NON CHARACTERISTIC GENERAL (general stuff about the substance all together)-CHARACTERISTIC Characteristic properties help us identify pure substances or the group it belongs to. Non-characteristic properties cannot help us identify pure substances or the group it belongs to.
What is considered a chemical properties of a substance?
Examples: - flammability - resistance to corrosion - resistance to thermal degradation - oxidation - reduction - apptitude for polymerization - chemilumiscence etc.
What are some physical properties used by scientist to describe matter?
Some physical properties used to describe matter are density, weight, temperature size and color
How do scientifics tests help determine to properties of substance?
Characteristic properties are unique for every different substance.
What are you physical properties that can help you identify a substance?
The traditional ones are melting point and boiling point.
Name the 3 physical properties that can help identify a substance?
texture,melting point and odor ;D

How are physical and chemical properties of matter useful?
Physical and chemical properties of matter are useful because they can help you identify that substance. For example paper burns very easily and aluminum doesn't, this is how they can be described individually.
Name several properties of matter that help you identify an unknown substance?
Every thing
What properties of substances can you observe and how do these properties determine the usefulness or hazards of a substance?
You can observe physical, chemical, and characteristic properties of a substance and can be used to determine the usefulness of a substance by, giving us information about the substance usually using our 5 senses which are physical properties. Or being able to describe the substances ability to undergo changes to its composition to produce one or more new substances, chemical property. Or even just being able to identify whether or not the substance is pure or not can help us determine if the substance is hazardous or not. two other properties I did not mention were the qualitative and the quantitative properties.

What do physical properties describe about a substance?
They describe tangible things, such as color, volume, smell, etc....
Name three physical properties that can help identify a substance?
Specific heat would be the best answer, but anything that is different in every metal is a correct answer. Other properties include density, melting and boiling point, and many others.
Why Do You Think Scientists Can Use The Basic Properties Of Matter To Help Identify An Unknown Substance?
Because if a substance can't be known then it has to prove its mass and volume
