In chemistry, a chemical substance is a form of matter that has constant chemical composition and characteristic properties.[1]It cannot be separated into components by physical separation methods, i.e. without breaking chemical bonds. It can be solid, liquid, gas, or plasma.
Chemical substances are often called 'pure' to set them apart from mixtures. 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. Other chemical substances commonly encountered in pure form are diamond (carbon), gold, table salt (sodium chloride) and refined sugar (sucrose). However, simple or seemingly pure substances found in nature can in fact be mixtures of chemical substances. For example, tap water may contain small amounts of dissolved sodium chloride and compounds containing iron, calcium and many other chemical substances.
Chemical substances exist as solids, liquids, gases, or plasma and may change between these phases of matter with changes in temperature orpressure. 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.

What are some examples of natural defenses?
Examples of natural defenses in living organisms include the immune system, physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes, detoxifying enzymes in the liver, and the ability to generate heat or fevers to fight off infections. In plants, natural defenses can include thorns, toxins, and chemicals that repel pests or pathogens.

What are some examples of toxic chemicals and how can we minimize our exposure to them?
Some examples of toxic chemicals include lead, mercury, and asbestos. To minimize exposure to these chemicals, individuals can take steps such as avoiding products containing these chemicals, using protective equipment when handling them, and properly disposing of items containing toxic chemicals. Additionally, ensuring good ventilation in living and working spaces can help reduce exposure to toxic chemicals.
