• Water
• Table salt

• Gold
• Diamonds
• Sugar cube
• Etc.
* All chemical elements and compounds are pure substance.

• Tin, Sulfur & Diamonds are chemical

elements, then, they are pure substances.

• Water Sugar & Baking Soda are

chemical compounds therefore, these are
pure substances.
Sugar cube - a pure sugar would only
contain molecules of the substance called
sucrose.

Table Salt - contains 97% to 99% sodium

chloride.
- pure sodium chloride is an
ionic crystal solid.
 Gold - made up of gold atoms.
