Table salt is a substance made up of sodium and chlorine chemically combined to each other. A chemical substance is considered "pure" since it cannot be broken down into its individual compounds by physical means, while mixtures are made of many chemical substances physically combined together and can easily be separated into its individual components by physical means.
