All matter can be broadly divided into two major groups "Pure" and "Impure". The term 'purity' has quite a different meaning in chemistry than in our day-to-day life. Normally when we refer to pure water, pure milk, etc., what is implied is that the water, milk etc., are free from harmful substances such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc. 'Purity' in chemistry is entirely of a different nature.www.tutorvista.com
