Question

ASSERTION - Air is a compound containing oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide and water vapour in a fixed proportion according to the mass. REASON –A compound is a substance whose composition of the compound is fixed.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Both Assertion wrong and reason is correct

Explanation:

Air is a mixture and not a compound

Answer 2

• Air is a mixture and not a compound.
• Air does not have a formula like a mixture, while compounds have a fixed formula.
• It can be separated into its components like nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide by fractional distillation of liquid air.
• The air shows the properties of all the gases present in the atmosphere.
• However, a compound is a substance that results from a combination of two or more different chemical elements.

Hence, the assertion is false and the reason if true.
