Answer 1

Matter can be classified into pure substances and mixtures. D) Mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous. Elements and compounds are examples of pure substances.

Step-by-step explanation:

Matter can be classified into two broad categories: pure substances and mixtures. A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition and properties that are constant throughout the sample. Mixtures are physical combinations of two or more elements and/or compounds. Mixtures can be classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous. Elements and compounds are both examples of pure substances. Compounds are substances that are made up of more than one type of atom. Elements are the simplest substances made up of only one type of atom.
