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.
