Question

Why air is mixture and water is compound definition

Answer 1

1. The components of air change from place to place...that of water stays the same (H:O = 1:16 by mass).

2. Water does not show the individual properties of H and O, while the individual parts of air display their own property.

3. You can separate different gases from air through a physical process. The only way to obtain H & O from H2O is to pass electricity through it...

Mixtures have a varying composition, show the individual chemical & physical props. of each component & in most cases, can be separated physically. The opposite is true for compounds.
