What is the overall definition that includes mixtures compounds and elements?

Can mixtures be broken down to simpler substances?
Since mixtures are just two or more elements not chemicley combined so that means you can separate it into an element the simpelist chemicle form.
What differences are there between compounds and mixtures?
Elements and compounds are pure substances. They cannot be broken down further by physical and/or chemical means. Mixtures, on the other hand, are physical combinations of pure substances . A compound is when two or more different types of elements are chemically bonded but a mixture is when there is different types of elements that is not chemically bonded but physically bonded.
Are elements and mixtures examples of pure substances?
no they are not
Substances are divided into two classes?
Some people divide matter into pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are elements and compounds. Mixtures include homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. Some people divide matter into homogeneous matter and heterogeneous matter. Homogeneous matter includes pure substances and homogeneous mixtures (solutions). Heterogeneous matter is heterogeneous mixtures.
Substances made up of elements combined physically?

Are elements and elements a homogeneous mixture?
No, elements are pure substances. However, if you mix two elements together, it depends on how well you mix them. Mixtures of two elements can be completely homogeneous, or extremely heterogeneous.
What did Dalton find out about the atom?
