Best Answer

Table salt, sodium chloride, is both a compound and a substance. You should understand that the word substance is a very general term. Elements, compounds, or mixtures, all qualify as substances. All matter is made up of substances of some kind. Whereas a compound is a specific kind of substance, one that is composed of the chemical combination of two or more elements.
