Matter is a pure substance if it can only be separated by chemical means, NOT physical means. This could be a compound or an element. The opposite is a mixture which can be separated/broken into smaller parts by physical means.
If a substance can be physically separated into its components, it is a mixture, not a pure substance. A pure substance consists of only one type of particle and cannot be separated into other substances by physical means.
A pure substance.
Yes, all homogeneous matter can be classified as a pure substance because it has a uniform composition throughout. This means that all samples of the matter have the same properties and composition, making it a pure substance.
A compound can be separated into two or more substances through chemical reactions. Physical mixtures, such as an alloy or a solution, can also be separated into their individual components through physical means like filtration or distillation.
Mixtures: can be separated by physical means

It wouldn't be a single substance, it would be a mixture.
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.
Matter is a pure substance if it can only be separated by chemical means, NOT physical means. This could be a compound or an element. The opposite is a mixture which can be separated/broken into smaller parts by physical means.
A pure substance is a substance that cannot be separated by means of physical separation but only by chemical. It is a change in time.
Matter is a pure substance if it can only be separated by chemical means, NOT physical means. This could be a compound or an element. The opposite is a mixture which can be separated/broken into smaller parts by physical means.
The result is an MIXTURE
If a substance can be physically separated into its components, it is a mixture, not a pure substance. A pure substance consists of only one type of particle and cannot be separated into other substances by physical means.
