Diamond is an element because it is composed of a single type of atom, specifically carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure.
Air is a mixture of different gases, primarily nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases. Therefore, air is considered a mixture and not an element or compound.

Diamond
- Is an element because it consists of only one type of atom, carbon, held together by covalent bonds. - It is not a compound because it does not contain two or more different elements chemically bonded together.
Air
- Is a mixture and not an element or compound because it consists of many different gases, such as nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide. - These gases are not chemically bonded together but are simply mixed together.
