Explanation:

Firstly, we need to define a mixture, compound, and element

Mixture: A mixture is defined as a substance that contains two or more constituents that are physically combined together.

Compound: A compound is defined as a substance that contains two or more elements that are chemically combined together.

Element: An element is defined as a substance that cannot be split into simpler units by an ordinary chemical reaction.

The next thing is to group the various substance into the mixture, compound, and element

Helium ----------- Element

Vinegar -------- Compound

Iron ------------ Element

Methane ----- compound

Coffee ------- Mixture

Dry -ice ------- compound

Table sugar ---- Compound
