Solution

The correct option is A

True


Air is a mixture and not a compound because:
1)
Air does not have a fixed composition.
2)The components of air can be separated by a physical method such as fractional distillation of liquid air.
3)We can prepare air artificially by mixing the various components of air in the same proportions in which they occur at a place.
