Liquid air is a mixture not a compound.

As we know that air is a mixture of different gases. It contains 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen and remaining 1% is comprising various other gases.

The process of preparing liquid air does not involve any chemical reaction and hence no compound is formed. It is basically a physical process involving compression of air as well as cooling simultaneously. Thus liquid air remains a mixture.

A solid can be any one of these, although you will probably see mixtures being more liquids and gasses. It is not the state of matter that makes it compound, element, or mixture, but what composes it.

Matter is the general name given to any material or substance on Earth. Usually we read statements like: "All matter is made up of atoms". Another statement in science texts is: "Matter is anything with mass".

So water is matter, air is matter, oxygen is matter. They all have mass.

Water is a compound, air is a mixture and oxygen is an element.

Matter can be an element, or a compound, or a mixture.

No because a compound is not alike a mixture of two or more element. In a compound , the atoms of two or more elements are joined together to form a new substance that is different from its ingredients.

It can be anything. A substance can be described as any material regardless of what it is made of.

A pure substance is either an element or a compound.
