A mixture is the combination of two or more substances. Steel is Iron with Carbon, making it an alloy, which is a mixture, meaning it is not an element on the periodic table.
To prove this statement, all of the following answers except steel are on the periodic table; Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O), and Gold (Au).
I hope this helps!
