What could you say about a substance if it did not turn blue-black with iodine?

While presence of starch is indicated by the bluish-black color change of a substance with the introduction of Iodine, it doesn't necessarily mean the absence of starch is the substance doesn't become blue or black in color. If a substance doesn't become blue or black in color on the application of iodine, it means the substance doesn't form any complex with Iodine. Generally, when a substance creates a complex with Iodine, it is in blue color.


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.
