Answered by GPT-4o mini
All of the examples you provided—pure aluminum foil, distilled water, NaCl (table salt), and a gold bar (pure Au)—can be classified as **pure substances**.

* **Pure substances** are materials that have a consistent composition and distinct properties throughout. They can be further divided into elements (like gold) and compounds (like distilled water and sodium chloride).

- **Pure Aluminum Foil** is an element.
- **Distilled Water** is a compound composed of hydrogen and oxygen.
- **NaCl (Table Salt)** is also a compound, comprised of sodium and chlorine.
- **Gold Bar** is an element.

Thus, they all fall under the category of pure substances.
