Is pure air a element or compound?

Answer

If you are talking about the gas we breath in the air, it's a compound. Pure oxygen as a gas exists as a molecule. Oxygen as an element, is unstable and as far as I know doesn't exist as a single element in nature. It will always occur in combination with something else, such as H2O or O2.
