Answer: Elements and Compounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present. Example: Air

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: iron
(Fe)

Solution is a homogeneous mixture of a solute and a solvent. Example: sugar dissolved in water

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: carbon dioxide
(CO_2)

Thus Elements and Compounds are pure substances.
