8 answers

All matter can be classified into two categories: pure substances and mixtures. A pure substance consists of a single element or compound. Iron is formed only of iron (Fe) atoms; table salt is formed only of sodium chloride (NaCl) molecules. A mixture, however, is made up of different compounds and/or elements.
Okay, so yes a mixture can be made up of only elements. Why? Because mixtures can be made up of compounds and/or elements.
