Yes. Air contains the elements oxygen, nitrogen, and small amounts of argon. It also contains the compounds: carbon dioxide, water, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide just to name a few.

How is compound and element similar?

Elements and compounds are related in sense that elements bond together chemically to make compounds. A compound can be broken down into pure elements. Example. Water (H20), Is Hydrogen (pure element) and Oxygen (also pure element) bonded together to form a compound (H20). However, while a compound can be broken down into its simple elements, an element cannot be broken down. It is said that an element is the purest whole form. --- Some common substances include both elements (pure elements) and compounds. Air, for example, contains elements such as nitrogen and oxygen, and also compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2), which is made from carbon and oxygen.


Does the air contain non-metal elements?

Air contains approximately 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and the final 1% is made up of argon, carbon dioxide and trace amounts of other gases. There is a possibility that air could also contain many bacteria and viruses from humans sneezing.


What are some non examples of compounds?

Gold, Silver, Oxygen, and Hydrogen are not compounds because they are all elements.Sources- Science book. ^_^P.S- This better have helped!


How many element you have in air?

Air contains 10 elements in either elemental form, compounds, or a combination of both. Some of these are only present in trace amounts. IM SAYING HOW MANY ELEMENTS ARE IN AIR.... -Nitrogen - 78% -Oxygen - 21% -Argon - 1% -Carbon Dioxide - 0.04% air fact: AIR IS A MIXTURE!!


Are reactants a mixture or a compound?

Reactants can be a mixture, compounds, a mixture of compounds and also elements. It depends on the reaction. Air is a mixture and is often a reactant for example.

How are the air you breathe in and the air you breathe out alike?

They both contain the same elements, only different quantities of them.


Is an air is a elementcompound or mixture?

Air is mixture of different elements, notably nitrogen, oxygen and argon. It will also contain compounds such as carbon dioxide and water vapor.

How does a solid air freshener lose mass and volume?

Air fresheners contain compounds with low volatility.


Why is air an element?

Air is a mixture of several gaseous elements, such as oxygen and nitrogen, and compounds, such as carbon dioxide. In the sense of the four elements, water, fire, earth, and air, air is an element.


Can mixtures be made of elements and compounds?

Yes look at air it has oxygen and nitrogen(elements) and carbon dioxide(compound)


Did air fresheners are ionic or covalent compounds?

Well I think they are covalent bond because they need to give the odor in air but ionic bond has a very strong attraction force between its ions and won't be able to give that smell in the air.


Is air organic or inorganic compound?

Air is about 78% Nitrogen and 21% Oxygen. The other 1% are random molecules that probably contain carbon. For something to be organic it must contain carbon. It is inorganic if it does not contain carbon.


How do you know air is a mixture?

Air is called a mixture because air contain not only one element or one compound; air contain many elements and compounds: nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, water vapours, helium, neon, krypton xenon, ozone, radon, pollutants. The composition of air was established by chemical analysis; from the second half of the XVIIth century gas after gas were discovered in air.

What science term best describes air mixture compound element?

Air is a MIXTURE of COMPOUNDS and ELEMENTS. The compounds being :- Carbon dioxide (CO2) Water (H2O) The elements being :- Oxygen (O2) Nitrogen (N2) Helium (He) Neon(Ne) Argon (Ar) Ozone (O3 ; At high altitudes). This is NOT a complete list of compounds and elements that form the atmosphere. There are many more trace compounds and elements present.
