I assume you're asking for clarification about chemical reactions.
I'm sure you know that individual atoms are not changed (short of nuclear or quantum effects, which are far deeper than Chemists take things). A substance is made up of particles consisting of a specific arrangement of these atoms, called molecules. A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of the atoms, creating a different collection of molecules. This alternate arrangement will have different properties than the original molecules.
For example, when burning sugar, there is a reaction between the sugar molecules (consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) and the oxygen molecules in the air. This reaction rearranges these molecules to create carbon dioxide and water (more correctly, water vapor, since the flame is hot). The reaction takes all of the carbon from the sugar and some of the oxygen (from both sources) to create carbon dioxide and all of the hydrogen from the sugar and the rest of the oxygen to create water molecules. The properties of these common molecules are well known and differ from each other significantly.

How do you know whether a homogeneous material is a pure substance?
You decide whether a substance in homogenous or heterogenous by it's appearance. If it looks like it has just one part, it is homogenous. If it looks like it has 2 of more parts, it is heterogenous. An example of a homogenous substance is mouthwash. It looks like it is one substance, a blue liquid.

Meiosis results in the formation of what?
Meiosis results in the formation of what?
When two pure substances are combined so that each of the pure substance retains its own properties the result is a?
When two substances combine and retain their own properties, a mixture results.
How is a chemical change different from a physical change?
a physical change can be reversed a chemical one can'tA chemical change is when a new substance, with new and different properties, is produced. The identity of the original substance is changed. In contrast, a physical change is when one or more of a substance's physical properties have simply been altered; no new substance is produced.
