Read the key facts belowand then complete the task on the companion sheet to confirm your knowledge
The word 'pure' is used in chemistry in a different way from its everyday meaning. For example, shops sell cartons labelled as ‘pure' orange juice. The label means that the contents are just orange juice, with no other substances added. However, the juice is not pure in the chemical sense, because it contains different substances mixed together.
In chemistry
a pure substance consists only of one element or one compound
a mixture consists of two or more different substances, not chemically joined together
The substances in a mixture can be elements, or compounds, or both. Being part of a mixture does not change the chemical properties of the substances that are in it.
