In chemistry, a chemical substance is a material with a specific chemical composition.

A common example of a chemical substance is pure water; it has the same properties and the same ratio of hydrogen to oxygen whether it is isolated from a river or made in a laboratory. Some typical chemical substances are diamond, gold, salt (sodium chloride) and sugar (sucrose). Generally, chemical substances exist as a solid, liquid, gas, or plasma and may change between these phases of matter with changes in temperature or pressure. Chemical reactions convert one chemical substance into another.

Forms of energy, such as light and heat, are not considered to be matter, and thus they are not "substances" in this regard.

A. Ironically, the rxn was H2 + 1/2O2 -> H2O. However, not enough water was created to quench the flames of the exploding hydrogen, although the moving pictures of the disaster clearly show the water.

A. Benzene. The shape of the molecule was an enigma until the German chemist Friedrich August Kekule dreamed of a snake biting its own tail, making him realize that benzene was a ring.
