- 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.
