Answer:

compound

Step-by-step explanation:

"Marble is typically more than 95% calcium carbonate, perhaps even 99% calcium carbonate, and calcium carbonate is a compound. Marble has a good claim to be recognized as a compound."

Answer: Element

Explanation: No, marble is not a compound, because for a rock to be called marble other characteristics, beyond the chemical composition, have to have specific values. But marble is made up of only one compound, calcium carbonate. Colored marbles do contain small amounts of other chemicals.
