Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Generally elements and compounds have a constant composition throughout and can be said to be pure substances. Air is not supposed to be considered as a pure substance as air is a mixture of different gases. It mainly contains nitrogen and oxygen in about 78% and 20% respectively and some other gases along with moisture. The composition of air is not constant and changes from place to place.
The correct statement would be that air is a mixture.
