Best Answer

Nitrogen and Oxygen are both elements on their own. But when you combine them with Water vapor, Argon, and Carbon dioxide you get the mixture know as air. (There are 9 other chemical elements and compounds found in air but they are almost all trace amounts. All of these chemicals and compounds combined make up less then 0.0007100% of air)

Definition of compound - A substance formed from two or more elements chemically united in fixed proportions.

Definition of mixture - The product of the random distribution of one substance through another without any chemical reaction.

Definition of element - Each of more than one hundred substances that cannot be chemically inter-converted or broken down into simpler substances and are the primary building blocks of matter. Each element is distinguished by its atomic number, i.e., the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms.
