Is pure silicon a semiconductor?

A silicon chip is a structure created by people using machines. The structure consists of a base, made of silicon with a small amount of other elements added, so this part is a mixture. The chip also has wiring and transistors printed on it, thus making the entire chip a structure rather than a mixture or pure substance.


Is silicon a mixture of elements and compounds?

No, a quark is and immeasurable thing that makes up everything (approximately) in our world. It is a sub-atomic particle, not a mixture which is totally different.


What an example of a pure substance?

The purest substance you are likely to see is 24 karat gold, not only is it pure gold but gold is naturally isotopically pure (gold-197), not a mixture of several isotopes of the element. The purest substance that you possess is the silicon inside the semiconductor chips in your electronic devices, although deliberately mixed with small amounts of other elements to create the transistors, resistors, and other circuit components in the chip these impurities mixed in are at a parts per billion level (much lower than residual impurities left in pure 24 karat gold). However silicon is a mixture of 3 isotopes: silicon-28 (92%), silicon-29 (5%), and silicon-30 (3%). Oh well, nothing is really a perfectly pure substance.Any substance that consists of a single element or chemical compound is a pure substance. These would include hydrogen, methane, gold, salt, sugar, or carbon dioxide. Saltwater, air, and bronze (an alloy) are not pure substances, as their constituent compounds could be present in many different amounts in any given sample.
