Lillian Baird · Answer 1

The liquid contains only one Element. The liquid is a pure substance.

Cornelius Daniels · Answer 2

An element is a substance that contains atoms of only one type. Whereas a substance that contains uniform composition of either same or dissimilar atoms is known as a pure substance.

For example, a piece of sodium metals is a pure substance and it is also an element.

On the other hand, a substance that consists of similar composition of two or more different atoms is known as a compound.

Hence, we can conclude that the correct statements are as follows.

The liquid contains only one element. The liquid is a pure substance.
