Nitrogen fixation is the process by which nitrogen gas from the air is combined with some other element, such as hydrogen to make ammonia, or to make any other compound containing nitrogen.
Air is a mixture; the properties of the constituents of air (oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide etc.) are not changed, and the mass ratios among them are not as consistent as they would be if air were a compound. On distillation of liquefied air, nitrogen predominantly distills off first, leaving behind oxygen in the liquid form. This is characteristic of a mixture, not of a compound.
Nitrogen fixation is the process by which bacteria remove nitrogen from the air and make it available to plants.
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, which plants can absorb and use to make proteins, amino acids, and DNA. This process is essential for nitrogen to be accessible to living organisms in a usable form.
air is a mixture of elements (nitrogen, oxygen, trace amounts of other elemental gases) plus compounds (water vapor, nitrogen and sulfur oxides, CO2)

No, not directly. There are bacteria that can fix Nitrogen out of the air and make it available as a nutrient but Nitrogen has to be in a compound form for it to be useful to most of the living things on Earth.
Air is a mixture of mainly Nitrogen and Oxygen, the gases in air are not chemically reacted.

The most abundant compound in clean and dry air is nitrogen gas, which makes up about 78% of the atmosphere. Oxygen is the second most abundant compound in the atmosphere, comprising about 21%.

No, air in a bottle is not a compound. Air is a mixture of different gases, including nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and others. Compounds are substances formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in fixed proportions, which is not the case with the gases in air.
Air is composed primarily of 20% oxygen, 79% nitrogen, and 1% carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, argon, and other trace gasses.

Only nitrogen, oxygen, argon and some minor natural components of air.
