Each compound has a specific absorption spectra.

If a compound contains an even number of nitrogen atoms (or no nitrogen atoms), its molecular ion will appear at an even mass number. If, however, a compound contains an odd number of nitrogen atoms, then its molecular ion will appear at an odd mass value. This rule is very useful for determining the nitrogen content of an unknown compound.

Intensive properties are independent from the mass of an object: density, hardness, melting point.

Since characteristic properties for a given substance never change, they can be used to identify unknown matter.

The melting point is not enough to definitely identify the compound because different compounds may have a similar melting point range. It all depends on the compounds. If you have a compound of acetanilide and flourene, the results will lead to similar melting points of 115 degrees Celsius and 116 degrees of Celsius. The ranges will be similar so it would be hard to definitely identify the compound.
