Into which two types are pure substances classified?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Elements and compounds
A pure substance has only one kind of particle and a fixed composition. It is either an element, made of only one kind of atom (such as iron or oxygen), or a compound, made of two or more elements joined in a fixed ratio (such as water or common salt). Atoms and molecules are the particles that make up substances, not types of pure substance.
