Answer:

Element

Step-by-step explanation:

In chemistry, two substances are referred to as PURE SUBSTANCES. One of the pure substances is ELEMENT and the other is compound. An element is a pure substance that contains only one type of atom.

In an element, only one type of atom makes up the structure. For example, H2 (hydrogen) and O2 are examples of elements because they contain only hydrogen and oxygen atoms respectively
