Answer:

Homogeneous Mixture

Step-by-step explanation:

A compound is when elements are chemically combined, through intermolecular bonding. A mixture is the physical combination of substances. In simpler terms, a compound is a pure substance, while a mixture is impure.

In the sugar-water mixture, the sugar dissolves and is evenly distributed throughout the water. This makes it a homogeneous mixture.
