Air is a mixture of gases, dust particles & water vapors . The most abundant gas is nitrogen (nearly 78%), next is oxygen (around 20%) and rest is other gases, dust particles and water vapour.

The air in our atmosphere is composed of molecules of different gases. The most common gases are nitrogen (78%), oxygen (about 21%), and argon (almost 1%).

Dry air contains 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases. Air also contains a variable amount of water vapor, on average around 1% at sea level, and 0.4% over the entire atmosphere.

Air has the following composition,

N2 = 78%

O2 = 21% and

other gases ( Like : CO2, Ag, Ne, Xe etc.) = 1%

Air is a mixture of gases. Air contains Nitrogen(78%) and oxygen (21%). In fact, these two gases together make up the most of our atmosphere (78%+21%=99%). The remaining 1% contains carbon dioxide, argon and other gases. It also contains water vapour, smoke and dust particles.
