If a molecule is made of only one type of atom, then it is a pure element in molecular form. For example, hydrogen gas, as it was used in balloons before the Hindenburg caught fire, is a pure element. That gas consists of hydrogen molecules - H2. Hydrogen gas nearly always forms two-atom molecules and is still a pure element.
The Oxygen in the air is a pure element but it also is only found as two-atom gas-molecules - O2.
The well-known Buckyballs which are large molecules of carbon are nothing but carbon and therefore are molecules of one element - pure carbon.
Yogurt is not a pure substance because its a mixture of different elements/molecules (Cow milk and sugar and more...) from the Periodic Table
No, they can contain impurities.
The chemical substances found in the atmosphere exist as gases.
Each pure water drop is composed of only two elements: hydrogen and oxygen. Most drinking water is composed of other compounds or elements to make it cleaner and safer to drink.
Well technically, they're all pure in their pure form. haha, The question doesn't really make sence. You should look up what an element means. An element is just a category that an atom may fall into. The question of purity can't be asked about an element. You can ask "is this sample of matter of the element (blank) pure?" But not about the element itself
Elements and compounds are pure substances. They also can be molecules.
Pure elements are combined together to form molecules.
No, molecules and elements are not the same thing. An element is a pure substance made of only one type of atom, while a molecule is a group of atoms bonded together. Elements can exist as single atoms or as molecules depending on their chemical composition.

Yes. Elements are composed of individual atoms. Compounds are composed of molecules, which are chemical combinations of atoms. Some pure elements exist as molecules containing various numbers of combined atoms, such as atmospheric oxygen (O2) and ozone (O3).

Molecules are the smallest units of compounds, which are made up of two or more different elements chemically bonded together. Pure substances can be either elements or compounds. All three are related in that they have specific chemical compositions and properties that are unique to their structure.
Pure substances have identical particles. This means that all samples of a pure substance will have the same type and arrangement of particles, whether they are atoms, molecules, or ions. Examples of pure substances include elements and compounds.
They are molecules composed of two atoms of the same element.
Pure elements cannot be mixtures.
All the elements from the periodic table can be obtained as pure elements.
The components of a pure substance can be either molecules or atoms.
