Miscible matter is capable of being mixed in any ratio with another matter without separation of two phases.
Mutagenic substances are substances that cause mutation, a change in inheritable properties of an organism.
Neutral substance is a substance that shows no acid or base properties, has an equal number of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions and does not change the colour of litmus-paper.
Optically active matter, by polarized light passing through it, turns the flat of polarized light leftwards or rightwards.
Solute is a substance that has been dissolved or could be dissolved in another substance (solvent).
Surfactants are substances which diminish the surface tension of liquids.
Crystal system is a method of classifying crystalline substances on the basis of their unit cell. There are seven unique crystal systems. The simplest and most symmetric, the cubic (or isometric) system, has the symmetry of a cube. The other six systems, in order of decreasing symmetry, are hexagonal, tetragonal, rhombohedral (also known as trigonal), orthorhombic, monoclinic and triclinic.

Abundance of substances is the ratio of the total mass of a specified element in the Earth’s crust to the total mass of the Earth’s crust. It is often expressed as a percentage.
Carcinogen is any substance that can cause or contribute to the production of cancer.
Cubic crystal system is also known as the isometric system. The Isometric crystal system characterizes itself by its three equivalent crystallographic axes perpendicular to each other.
a = b = c
α = β = γ = 90°
