- a (biochemistry) purine base found in DNA and RNA; pairs with thymine in DNA and with uracil in RNA
- light (physics, chemistry) not having atomic weight greater than average
- state (chemistry) the three traditional states of matter are solids (fixed shape and volume) and liquids (fixed volume and shaped by the container) and gases (filling the container)
- group (chemistry) two or more atoms bound together as a single unit and forming part of a molecule
- system (physical chemistry) a sample of matter in which substances in different phases are in equilibrium
- ring (chemistry) a chain of atoms in a molecule that forms a closed loop
- form (physical chemistry) a distinct state of matter in a system; matter that is identical in chemical composition and physical state and separated from other material by the phase boundary
- heavy (physics, chemistry) being or containing an isotope with greater than average atomic mass or weight
- chain (chemistry) a series of linked atoms (generally in an organic molecule)
- dna (biochemistry) a long linear polymer found in the nucleus of a cell and formed from nucleotides and shaped like a double helix; associated with the transmission of genetic information
