Is mercury a homogeneous mixture?

Pure Mercury is homogeneous and is an element, which is a pure substance, and not a mixture. There is little chance that you will encounter pure mercury because it exists only in textbooks. In reality, there are always other impurities mixed and dissolved in the mercury. The liquid mercury obtained from chemical suppliers claims to be at least 99.99% pure. This would be a pure substance, not a mixture, only if it were 100% pure. "Close to pure" is not pure. "Pure" only exists in textbooks.
