It is a mixture of chemicals sometimes. Pure bleach is called hypochlorite (NaOCl).
What you buy at the store has probably been watered down a good bit. Its powerful stuff.

Commercial bleach is often a dilute solution of sodium hypochlorite in water. Sodium hypochlorite alone might be considered a pure substance but in water it would likely be considered a homogenous mixture in water.

Household bleach is a mixture made by reacting sodium hydroxide with chlorine gas. The concentration is adjusted to meet the needs for household use, but it can be made a bit stronger. The chemical name is sodium hypochlorite.
