Which of the following are considered pure substances? a. element b. compound c. homogeneous mixture d. heterogeneous mixture

A. Element and B. Compound

Explanation:

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: water

Heterogeneous mixture : It is a mixture that has non-uniform composition throughout the solution and the particle size or shapes are also different.There is a physical boundary between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium.

Homogeneous mixture:  It is a mixture that has uniform composition throughout the solution and the particle size or shapes are not different.There is no physical boundary between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium.

Thus element and compound are pure substances.
