Final answer:

A pure substance consists of only one kind of matter, either an element or a compound, maintaining a consistent composition and properties throughout.


Explanation:

A pure substance contains only one kind of matter, which can be either an element (composed of one type of atom) or a compound (composed of two or more types of atoms).

If a substance is chemically pure, it cannot be separated into different components but always maintains the same composition and properties throughout.

For example, aluminum oxide is a chemically pure compound, while mixtures like orange juice are not chemically pure as they consist of different substances.
