Hey mate!
Here's your answer!!
Air is considered as a mixture because it exhibits following properties:
➡ Each component present in air retains its properties.
➡ Each component can be separated by simple physical processes.
➡ The components do not have any fixed proportion. All gases are present in different amount. Example, in greener area—more oxygen and water vapour is present; near industrial area—air consists of lot of impurities and smoke suspended in it.
