Mixtures.
Physical methods (filtration, distillation, chromatography, etc.) can separate components of a mixture. Compounds require chemical reactions to break the chemical bonds; elements are indivisible by chemical (non-nuclear) means; a “pure substance” (an element or compound) cannot be separated into different substances by physical means.
