*****

Air is a mixture and not a compound because :-

# Air can be separated into its constituents such as oxygen, nitrogen Etc. by fractional distillation of liquid air

# Air shows the properties of all the gases present in it. For example: Air supports combustion because of oxygen present in air

# Air has a variable composition because at different places different amount of gases are present in air
