Chemistry

First we have to understand their definitions.

Mixture: a substance made by mixing other substances together physically.

Compound: made up or consisting of several parts or elements chemically.

Now that we understand their definitions we can justify and clarify that air is a mixture.

<span>The air is composed of many non-reactive gases such as nitrogen, hydrogen, methane, water vapor, carbon dioxide, etc. It can not be classified as a compound because compound means; several things (elements) compose a whole but chemically, and this previously mentioned gases are attached physically, not chemically.</span>

A compound has to be chemically bonded, however, air is not chemically bonded.
This can be proven by freezing air. By freezing air, it yields different liquids at different temperature. Liquid nitrogen has a different boiling point than liquid oxygen.
If air was a compound, they would all have a single boiling point and a single freezing point.


Hope this helps :)

Describe the physical and chemical weathering​
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Physical weathering is caused by purely mechanical changes to the rock, while chemical weathering is caused by chemical reactions.

Explanation:

Chemical weathering happens when the chemicals get diluted and dissolved in water and seep and percolate down the rock surfaces.

Physical weathering happens when rocks are fragmented into minor fragments while ensuring no alterations in their chemical makeup. The main causes behind physical weathering include spontaneous fluctuations in temperature like too high or too low heat or cold
