Brass is an alloy of Zn &Cu.
Brass is a mixture and not a compound because in compound the elements should be in definite proportions and the elements are chemically bonded to each other.
Whereas in brass the two elements Zn & Cu are not in definite proportions (they can mix in any ratio) & there is no chemical bonding between them.

we know that brass is a combination of copper and zinc.but, it's not considered as a compound because:
1) it shows the properties of its constituents
2) it has variable composition
these properties satisfy a mixture but not a compound
