Mixture: two or more substances.

Explanation:

In the classification of matters, we can distinguish two groups:
Mixture and pure substance.

A mixture is formed when two or more pure substances are mixed together.

For example:
Water is a pure substance. Sodium chloride #NaCl# is a pure substance.
