  • Mixtures vs. Compounds: Air, Salt, Water, and Sulfur Explained
    Here's the breakdown of which substances are mixtures:

    * Air: Air is a mixture. It's primarily composed of nitrogen and oxygen, but also contains other gases like carbon dioxide, argon, and trace amounts of others.

    * Salt: Salt (sodium chloride) is a compound. It's formed by the chemical bonding of sodium and chlorine atoms.

    * Water: Water (H₂O) is a compound. It's made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms chemically bonded together.

    * Sulfur: Sulfur is an element. It exists as a pure substance in its elemental form.

    In summary: Only air is a mixture. The others are compounds or elements.
