Chemical species: Definition

Chemical species are atoms, molecules, ions, or any composition of atoms that are in a chemical reaction, chemical process or under measurement. It is a chemical entity that can be identified through spectroscopic experiments. Identifying a single species often requires more than one type of instrument to reveal all of the species present, such as a pair of enantiomers of a compound.
