Because it is the same throughout, in other words the "mixture" is made up of only one component ( the chemical substance). The chemical and physical properties of a substance formed together by 2 or more different elements are generally vastly different from the properties of the atoms in their elemental state. For example chlorine is a poisonous gas with an acrid odor and green color and sodium is a very soft and shiny metal with low melting point react to form sodium chloride which is inert, colorless, brittle and non conductive solid. Basically the properties of each component is unique and differentiates different chemical substances.
