(2) (chemistry) A material, matter or that which has definite chemical composition and distinct properties. (3) The most vital or essential part of something. (4) Drugs, as in substance abuse.
In biology, the term substance is used to refer to the material constituting an organ, e.g. ground substance or spongy substance.

Examples are water, salt, sugar, etc. Forms of energy such as light and heat are not considered a chemical substance.
