Chemical substance
matter of constant composition best characterized by the entities (molecules, formula units, atoms) it is composed of and characterized by physical properties like density
(Redirected from Chemical substances)
A chemical substance is any material with a known chemical composition.[1] For example, water has the same properties and the same ratio of hydrogen to oxygen whether it came from a river or was made in a laboratory. Typical chemical substances found in the home include water, salt and bleach. Generally, substances exist as a solid, a liquid, or a gas, and may change between these phases of matter when there are changes in temperature or pressure.
