Step-by-step explanation:

An element is a distinct substance that cannot be split-up into simpler substances. Such substances are only made up of one kind of atom.

A compound is composed of two or more kinds of atoms joined together in a definite grouping.

A homogenous mixture is a mixture in which its constituents exists in just one phase.

A heterogeneous mixture is one whose constituents exists in at least two different phases.

S₈ is a compound

CH₄ is a compound

Salt water is a homogenous mixture

Distilled water is a compound

CH₂O is a compound

Concrete is a heterogenous mixture.
