Pure substance has a definite and constant composition-like salt or sugar. A pure substance can be either an element or a compound, but the composition of a pure substance doesn’t vary.

Mixtures are physical combinations of pure substances that have no definite or constant composition — the composition of a mixture varies according to who prepares the mixture.
