What is the main characteristic of a pure substance?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Having fixed composition

A pure substance has a uniform, definite composition and characteristic properties throughout the sample. A pure element contains one kind of atom, while a pure compound contains elements combined in a fixed ratio. For example, pure water has hydrogen and oxygen in a definite chemical ratio, so its composition does not change from one portion to another.

Therefore option A is correct. A material with different composition in different parts is a mixture, not a pure substance. A pure substance may be a solid, liquid, or gas, so option C is too narrow. Colour alone is only one possible observable property and cannot define purity, making option D incorrect. The essential idea is fixed composition, not physical state or colour.
