Pure substances can or can not be chemically combined.
Pure substances can be either elements or compounds, but not mixture. Mixture are different substances mixing together without being chemically combined, such as air, which is a mixture of oxygen, carbon dioxide, water etc. Mixture can be separated by physical methods, like filtration or decantation.
Meanwhile, elements are the substances that cannot be further separated by any means. No matter physical or chemical methods. Examples of elements are oxygen, hydrogen, neon and all the other ones from the periodic table. Compounds are basically elements joining together, but they’re chemically combined which means their electrons (kind of subatomic particle) are either shared or given away. These elements can only be separated by chemical methods like electrolysis or heating.
Therefore, as long as the substance cannot be separated by physical methods, it can be considered as a pure substance. We can now conclude that pure substance can be (element) or can not be (compound) chemically combined.
<span>There are three atoms of Sn (Stannous or Tin) in</span> 356.13 g of Sn.
<span>One atom of Sn has the atomic mass (m</span>ₐ<span>) of </span>118,71u which means:
356.13/118.71=3 atoms of Sn
The mass number (symbol A) also called atomic mass number or nucleon number is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus. It determines the atomic mass of atoms and it is in the periodic table.
Democritus was the first person to theorize the existence of atoms.
A compound is considered a pure substance meaning there is only one type of particle in the substance. A mixture is a combination of two or more different chemical pot compound or an element or substances. It is not a pure substance but I combination of multiple particles
