1. Air contains many gases that are usually elements such as oxygen and nitrogen.
2. Air is not pure. Other than gases, there are always some particles such as dust and water droplets that are always present in air.
3. Proportion of CO2 in air has increased a bit since the Industrial Revolution. In a compound, proportions are always fixed. They cannot change at any cost. Since proportion has changed, air is a mixture.
