• Air is necessary for breathing and burning.              
• Air is necessary for respiration.
• Air is a mixture of many colorless gasses.
  
• The surface of earth is surrounded by a thick layer of air (Gases), which reaches a height about 400km.
  
• Air consists of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.03% carbon dioxide and 1% other gasses.
• Nitrogen is colorless and odorless gas.
• It is used in normal growth and development of plants.
  
• Liquid nitrogen is used as a coolant.
  
• Animals use Nitrogen in the form of proteins.
• Plants use Nitrogen in the form of nitrates (Fertilizer).
• Oxygen is colorless and odorless gas.
• Liquid oxygen is used as fuel in space ship.
• Oxyacetylene flame is used in cutting and welding of metals.
• Oxygen is essential for breathing.
  
• Carbon dioxide gas is heavier than air and fairly soluble in water.
• Carbon dioxide is used in fire extinguishers.
• Gaseous carbon dioxide upon cooling (to -78.5⁰C) directly becomes a solid and is known as dry ice.
• Carbon dioxide also used to prepare urea fertilizers.
• Noble gases are inactive, so they are also called inert gases.
• Argon is used for filling the electric bulbs.
• Helium and hydrogen gases are used for filling balloons.
  
• Neon signs are used for advertising boards.
