What is a chemical substance and how is it formed?

The objects of nature are structurally generalized, especially the objects undergoing the stage of formation from atoms to macrosized species. No exceptions from a large number of the examined structures of inorganic and organic compounds, algae, plants, viruses, and other objects have been found out. For the majority of substances, the build-up starts from fundamental configurations, then clusters are formed, whereby the structure is assembled. The hierarchical construction is the basic principle irrespective of whether the whole structure is periodic or aperiodic. The spatial domain, in which the substance is formed, is tens to hundreds of nanometers in size, the type of the space geometry being inessential because in the small all the geometries are equivalent.
