Question

Why air is known as mixture not a compound. explain?

Answer 1

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.
