The atmosphere is composed of air. Air is a mixture of Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon and other trace gases. The first three account for about 99% of the composition of air and are mentioned in the largest to smallest constituents.

Why is the air called mixture of gases?

Air is called a mixture of gases because air shows the properties of all its components.Answer:A mixture is a combination of substances where each substance remains separate without interacting chemically with the others.

Why is natural gas a mixture?

Natural gas is a mixture because it is composed of different gases, primarily methane but also containing small amounts of other hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane, and butane, as well as non-hydrocarbon gases like carbon dioxide and nitrogen. These gases are naturally occurring and are extracted together from underground reservoirs, resulting in the mixture that we refer to as natural gas.


Is atmosphere a heterogenous mixture or homogenous mixture?

I originally thought that the atmosphere was a homogeneous mixture, but then I found out that it's actually heterogeneous for this reason: when you look up into the atmosphere, what do you see? Generally, you see blue, which is the ozone layer (O3) and clouds, which are suspended droplets of water, a separate layer from the other gases. So, the atmosphere is a heterogeneous mixture. However, air on the ground level that is all around you is homogeneous, as you cannot make out the different gases that it composes of.


Is air a pure substance or a solution?
