I have a better answer: the definition for a compound is a substance that contains two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed proportion. Water is made up of two elements called hydrogen and oxygen. Therefore it's a compound not a mixture.
______
tap water has other impurities within it - such as microscopic particles unknown to our eyes. so therefore it is a homogeneous mixture - not a compound.

Tap water is a mixture. It is water with some impurities.
Is tap water an element a substance a compound or a mixture?

Pure tap water is water having only some infinitesimal impurities. Have you a blue tap water in your bath ?
Why is distilled water a compound while tap water a mixture?
Distilled water is also known as Pure water, with a chemical formula of H2O. Lets begin with the definition of compounds and mixtures. Compounds are formed chemically from elements and/or compounds. Mixtures are formed when elements and/or compounds are mixed together physically. Since distilled water only contains H2O, it is known as a compound. However, tap water contains other minerals and chemicals besides H2O, even though it holds the highest % in the mixture. In tap water, the formula of water is still H2O, but there are other substances as mentioned. Hope i helped :)

Tap water is a mixture. It is water with some impurities.
Is tap water in a glass a compound homogeneous or heterogeneous?
Pure water (H2O) is a chemical compound; if the water is impure may be a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture.
Is tap water a element compound or mixture?
It is a mixture. Tap water is mostly water (H2O), which is a compound, but it contains dissolved gases (N2 and O2) and various dissolved mineral salts. The most abundant mineral in drinking water is usually calcium carbonate. Salts split into ions when they are dissolved, so drinking water contains significant amounts of carbonate (CO3-), nitrate (NO3-) and sulfate (SO4-) radicals, as well as calcium (Ca++), magnesium (Mg++), potassium (K+), sodium (Na+), chloride (Cl-) and fluoride (F-) ions. Other elements are found in tiny amounts.
is tap water in a glass pure substances or mixture?
Tap water is not a pure substance. Water has particles in it. Some tap water also contains fluoride. Distilled water has all of the particles taken out of it and is considered pure water.
Why is distilled water a compound while tap water is a mixture?
Water (independent of forms) is a compound - H2O; tap water is of course water - but containing some minor impurities. And seawater, waters from lakes and rivers contain many impurities but remain water.
