A pure substance refers to an element or a compound that has no component of another compound or element. Pure substances are made of only one type of atom or molecule. Hydrogen gas and pure iron are examples of pure substances. Hydrogen consists of hydrogen atoms only while iron consists of only iron atoms. Mixing two pure substances results in a mixture. To separate the two, scientists use a method known as filtration. Mixtures can either be homogeneous or heterogeneous. The measure used to determine how pure a substance may be called purity. Besides hydrogen and iron, other pure substances include gold, diamonds, sugar, and baking soda.
Compounds are not formed by accepting electrons. Number 1 and 3 are correct.
