Depending on the method many chemical or physical properties can be used. Examples: spectra of emission, color of ions in solution, formation of some precipitates, melting point, density, etc.

How could you positively identify a compound using only melting point determinations?
I do not believe that any chemist would choose to identify a compound by using only the melting point; why create such difficulties for yourself?
Is the state of matter considered a physical property?
The state of matter of a element or compound is linked to its melting and boiling points which are both physical properties. Also if the element/compound is a solid you could say physical properties on the type of structure it would form
What is the opposite of compound?
The opposite status of a chemical compound could be an element, or a mixture. The opposite of the adjective compound (multiple) could be single. For sentences, the opposite of a compound sentence is a simple sentence.
Is horseplay allowed in the laboratory?
no, because someone could get hurt and you could breake something.
Could sixth graders identify different colas?

What physical property or properties could you use to identify an ionic compound?
If you notice that a compound is composed only of 1 of certain elements, you can deduct they are ionicly bonded. The 7 chemicals are Hydrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Bromine, Iodine, Nitrogen and Chlorine. If you discover a new one contact me at natevd95. Hope this is helpful.
Identify a non toxic odorless white powder generate four question each regarding a different property that could be safely tested and answer in the lab?
Some things can be tested in the laboratory included freezing point and boiling point. Students could also test conductivity, solubility, reactivity, and molecular structure.
Why should you should never use taste or touch to identify bases?
A compound could be caustic and burn your mouth and tongue.
Can you give me a sentence with the word compound in it?
Bus-stop is a compound noun. Water is a compound made of oxygen and hydrogen

What are the organic compounds?
the term 'organic' was used only for those substance which were obtained from animals and plant sources and could not be prepared in laboratory those compound which do not contain oxygen and metals
Instrument used in laboratory study?
Could you specify? Why? Which? What kind of laboratory
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 could you do to determine whether an unknown solid is an ionic compound or a molecular solid?
In the laboratory you could determine if a solid has an ionic bond or a metallic bond by trying to run a current through it. Metal solids have delocalized electrons and conduct electricity well. Ionic solids will not conduct electricity unless dissolved.
How could you use the property of solubility to help identify a type of matter?
Testing by solubility may be a qualitative evaluation of a substance or is used for differenciation of compounds. But it is not a true identification method.
Is this a compound subject or compound predicate for He or she could tell you?
The statement "He or she could tell you" has a compound subject - there are two nouns preceding the verb. A compound predicate would be "He could tell you about airplanes or about trains."
