All except carbon disulfide, #CS_2#, are mixtures......

Explanation:

Petroleum is a mixture of isomers; even the petroleum spirit supplied in the lab is a mixture of #C_4-C_6# hydrocarbons. Rubber latex is a polymer, and vulcanizing solution is a proprietary mixture of sulfur and other materials......

On other hand, #CS_2# is a volatile solvent with a particularly foul odour, and is particularly flammable.
