Answer: The given statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pure substance is defined as the substance which is formed by same or different type of atoms which are chemically combined in a fixed ratio by mass.

Compounds and elements are considered as pure substances.

For Example: Sodium and sodium chloride are both considered as pure substances because sodium is entirely made up of sodium atoms and sodium chloride is entirely made up of sodium chloride molecules.

Hence, the given statement is true.
