The best explanation for both the first and second claims is that aluminum is a pure substance: Aluminum is one form of atom and its structure is always the same. Aluminum has an evenly blended composition.

Explanation:

Aluminum is one type of atom and its composition is always the same, this statement also gives the property of a pure substance . In fact, pure substances are often homogeneous and contain only one form of atom or molecule.

One of a pure substance's key characteristics is that it has a uniform composition that is homologous in nature, and can be mixed uniformly throughout. ALUMINUM's second statement notes the property of a pure substance. Aluminum is also homologous in terms of occurrence.

The atoms are very small and have a diameter of around 1 x 10-10 meters. It's difficult to view them using a light microscope due to their limited size. Although it may not be possible to view an atom using a light microscope, a number of techniques have been developed, such as electron microscopy, to observe and research the structure of atoms. Therefore, the statement that the aluminum atom can not be seen through a microscope does not explain the pure content of aluminum.

This argument - 'Aluminum contains substances which are not bound together' does not explain the fact that it is a pure material as it notes that the property of a pure material does not exist in relation to its chemical bonds.

.Therefore, the first and second aluminum statements give the best description of a pure material.
