Chemical substance

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 (sodium chloride) 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 intemperature or pressure.
