    Gases can be classified as elemental, compound, or mixtures. Elemental gases consist of single atoms like hydrogen (H2), while compound gases contain different atoms like carbon monoxide (CO). Air is a mixture of gases including nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. Natural gas is mostly methane and is used as fuel. Gases have various properties - helium floats because it is lighter than air, noble gases are very stable, and ozone forms the protective layer around Earth while nitrous oxide has medical and engine uses.
