Pure substance
Any variety of matter in which all samples have identical properties
Elements

Compounds
Two our more elements chemically combined, PROPORTIONS COUNT!!!!
Mixtures
Combinations of two or more pure substances that keep own properties, physically combines, no ratio, no bonds
Homogeneous mixtures
