Nopes, air is not a living organism. =^^=
Because in order to be a living organism, you must at least be one-celled, you must be able to grow and develop, you must have metabolism, you must be able to reproduce, you must be able to pass genes onto your offspring (heredity), and you must have homeostasis. Air can't do any of those things.

Could be.
Reviewing "Miss Anonymous" criteria (which sounds logical, and well though out), against Wikipedia ... it seems that most of the criteria for life is meet.
However, Wiki & other scientists classify Oxygen as an element rather than a "Life force". But, with the similarities, an open- minded person could view oxygen as a life-force.

No, it's a mixture of chemical components, major portion of which, say Oxygen, supports your life and other living creatures.

Oxygen -O2 - is a chemical element just like Iron, Gold, Nitrogen, etc, none of which are alive.
