Pure substances have a uniform and definite composition and include <strong>elements<\/strong> and <strong>compounds<\/strong>, while mixtures are made from two or more substances physically combined and can be <strong>homogeneous<\/strong> or <strong>heterogeneous<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Argon (Ar)<\/strong> is an <strong>element<\/strong> because it consists of only one type of atom. It is a noble gas found in the periodic table and exists naturally in its elemental form. Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Salt water<\/strong> is a <strong>homogeneous mixture<\/strong>. Although it is made from two substances\u2014salt (sodium chloride, a compound) and water (a compound)\u2014when the salt dissolves in water, it forms a single, uniform solution. This means the composition is the same throughout, and no individual components can be seen or separated easily by physical means like filtration. In other words, it has a consistent appearance and properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chocolate chip cookie<\/strong> is a classic example of a <strong>heterogeneous mixture<\/strong>. It contains visibly different parts\u2014chocolate chips, dough, maybe nuts or sugar granules. These components retain their own properties and are not uniformly distributed throughout the cookie. This lack of uniformity is what makes it heterogeneous. You could take two bites and get a different composition in each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, understanding how matter is classified helps in identifying substances based on their physical and chemical properties. This knowledge is foundational in chemistry and helps scientists and students alike make distinctions that are crucial for experiments, product formulations, and understanding the natural world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner4-718.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-230037\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Classify each substance.
