उत्तर
Air is a mixture because:
- It contains two or more pure substances.
- It can be separated into simpler substances by physical processes.
- Its composition is not fixed.
Water is a compound because:
- Water cannot be separated into its constituents i.e., hydrogen and oxygen by physical methods.
- Properties of water are entirely different from those of its constituents.
- The composition of water is fixed.
- Its constituents are present in fixed proportion by mass. Water has a definite formula (H2O).

Three mixtures A, B and C are obtained by stirring three different solids in water taken in separate beakers. When mixture A is allowed to stand for some time, then its particles settle at the bottom of the beaker. When a beam of light is passed through mixture A in a dark room, the path of light becomes visible when observed from the side of the beaker. When mixture B is allowed to stand for a considerable time, even then its particles do not settle down. Mixture B, however, scatters the beam of light just like mixture A. The particles of mixture C do not settle down on keeping and it also does not scatter a beam of light passing through it.
