- 2. the state in which a substance has no tendency to flow under moderate stress; resists forces (such as compression) that tend to deform it; and retains a definite size and shape.
- 3. Physical substance in general, as distinct from mind and spirit; (in physics) that which occupies space and possesses rest mass, esp. as distinct from energy.
- 5. The basic unit of a chemical element.
- 6. A fourth state of matter distinct from solid or liquid or gas and present in stars and fusion reactors.
- 8. 1.A process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance, as opposed to a change in physical form or a nuclear reaction.

- 12. A chemical substance formed as a result of a chemical reaction.
- 13. Any property used to characterize matter and energy and their interactions.
