What is the difference between a ChemicalSubstance and a MolecularEntity? Re: Request for comments on first Bioschemas release to schema.org

Hi All,

Good to see progress.

Regarding the request for comments. I would like to see a bit of an 
explanation what
the difference is between a MolecularEntity and a ChemicalSubstance.

Specifically for ChemicalSubstance I would like to see a description on 
how it relates to the existing schema.org Substance.

Regards,
Jerven
