Pure salt is a compound made from Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl). Its formula is NaCl and it is a pure substance not a mixture.

However, most salt you purchase from a shop as' Table Salt' is iodised (for health reasons) and contains anti caking agents (to make it run). That is, it has had iodine other substances added to it. This makes Table Salt a mixture.
