Abstract
We consider chemical identification as a process of setting up, testing, and screening of hypotheses, and review principles, techniques, and errors of identification. We also trace the relations between qualitative analysis and metrology and outline the range of known chemical compounds that are candidates for identification in general. We differentiate between methods for confirming identity and those for identifying unknowns, and discuss sources of prior data and new developments in reference data.
