select the correct answer below:
an element
a pure substance
a mixture
a single atom

Explanation:

A compound is made up of two or more different - types of atoms chemically bonded together. A pure substance can be either an element (made of one type of atom) or a compound. An element consists of only one type of atom, a mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined, and a single - atom is just one atom. Since a compound has a definite composition and distinct properties, it is a pure substance.

Answer:

a pure substance
