chemical
Molecular science product
Chemical describes anything relating to chemistry—the science of matter and its transformations.
A chemical reaction changes substances at the molecular level.
As a noun, a chemical is any substance with a distinct molecular composition, though in everyday speech it often implies synthetic or industrial compounds: The label lists chemicals I can't pronounce.
Chemical weapons use toxic substances.
The phrase chemical imbalance refers to disrupted brain chemistry, often invoked to explain mental health conditions.
