Is jello an element or substance?

Jello is neither an element nor a substance. Here's why:

* Element: An element is a pure substance consisting of only one type of atom. Examples include oxygen, hydrogen, and gold. Jello is made from multiple ingredients, not just one type of atom.

* Substance: A substance is a pure form of matter with a definite and uniform composition. Jello is a mixture of gelatin, water, sugar, and flavoring. Its composition can vary depending on the recipe.

Therefore, jello is a mixture, specifically a colloid. Colloids are mixtures where one substance is dispersed evenly throughout another. In jello, the gelatin molecules are dispersed throughout the water, forming a gel-like structure.
