The air we breathe contains
78% Nitrogen and 20% Oxygen. The remainder is Helium and other gases
Air is indeed a mixture of gases, primarily oxygen (about 21%) and nitrogen (about 78%). This composition was established by the scientist Joseph Priestley in the 18th century through his experiments on air.
Air is primarily composed of nitrogen (about 78%) and oxygen (about 21%).
The chemical formula for the oxygen in the air is O2, where the 2 should be a subscript.

No. Normal air is about 20% oxygen, 79% nitrogen, and 1% "other gasses". That's what you inhale when you breathe. Your exhalations - what you breathe OUT - is about 79% nitrogen, 16% oxygen, 2% carbon dioxide, 2% water vapor, and that 1% of "other" gasses. When you perform artificial respiration, you are breathing OUT, directly INTO the victim's mouth. Your exhalation of 16% oxygen is plenty for him to survive on.

to breathe and to fly
Air is primarily composed of nitrogen (about 78%) and oxygen (about 21%).
Because the higher you go in altitude, the harder it is 2 breathe because of thin air.

No. They require air.
The atmosphere consists of 78% Nitrogen (N2), 21% Oxygen (O2).
most of the air is made up of nitrogen and oxygen. But, 2% of the air is made up of other different kinds of gasses
The lungs act a bit like baloons. When you breathe in they will inflate, when you breathe out they will deflate. Using a balloon may be useful way to understand this, breathe into the balloon and it will inflate (this is what happens when you breathe in). Next, leave the air out (slowly) and this is what happens your lungs when you breathe out.
