A substance that is chemically combined cannot be separated physically.

In some situations, you can and can't separate combined substances physically. For example, you can separate sand from rocks physically, but you cannot separate water and ice cream, even though the substances did not undergo a chemical change, because the water soaked into the ice cream.

What type of substance can be separated up into similar substances?

Generally speaking, yes but ...It depends on what the substance is and what you want to separate.If the substance is a mixture of sugar and water then the water can be evaporated off and the sugar remains behind.Water, H2O, itself is not a mixture but a pure substance and it, too, can be separated into hydrogen and oxygen by running an electrical current through it to break the bonds in the molecules.Some substances like paint can have its components forensically determined by running a sample through a gas chromatographwhich will analyse the components of the paint to determine which brand it is which batch it came from and maybe help solve a crime. The gas chromatograph is used for small samples and does not separate larger samples back into its components.

What are some different types of matter made up of?

A substance can be categorized into several categories. If a substance cannot be separated through physical means (e.g., distillation, magnetism) it is a pure substance. If a substance can be separated through physical means, it is a mixture. If a mixture is uniform throughout, it is a homogenous mixture, like saltwater. If it is not (i.e., there are different parts to it, like a can of soda), it is a heterogeneous mixture. If a pure substance can be separated through chemical means, it is a compound, like glucose, which is made of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. If a substance cannot be separated by chemical means, it is an element, like oxygen, which is made of just oxygen. A substance can be in multiple categories.
