Sample Response: Even though a compound can be made of two or more types of atoms, it is still a pure substance because the compound can be isolated, like salt or water.

Answer: yes.


Explanation:

A compound considered a pure substance. Compounds are formed by combination of two or more than two atoms in a fixed ratio. Pure substances can be broken down into elements or smaller compounds. So such compounds are treated as a pure because they can be broken down into smaller compounds or elements by chemical actions.
