These are elements in the Periodic Table. They also happen to make up the vast majority of earth's atmosphere.
What else can I help you with?
Does nitrogen burn in oxygen?
No, nitrogen does not burn in oxygen. Nitrogen is inert and does not react with oxygen under normal conditions.
What are the two main gases?
Hydrogen and Nitrogen. Or oxygen and carbon dioxide, or carbon monoxide.
What do Nitrogen and oxygen form?
Nitrogen and oxygen can form nitrogen dioxide (NO2) or nitric oxide (NO) depending on the conditions. Nitrogen oxides are produced when nitrogen and oxygen react at high temperatures, such as in combustion processes.
What is lighter oxygen or nitrogen?
Nitrogen. Molecular mass of N2 = 14 x 2 = 28 Molecular mass of O2 = 16 x 2 = 32 32 > 28 Hence oxygen is heavier than nitrogen. NB CO2 is heavier again. Molecular mass is 12 + ( 2 x 16) = 44 So CO2 fall to the ground and is absorbed by 'green' plant life to form oxygen and biomass.
Is a nitrogen an oxygen?
Nitrogen and oxygen are individual elements with different properties.
What 2 gases are most abundant in the Earth's atmosphere?
Nitrogen and Oxygen
What is the word equation for nitrogen dioxide?
Nitric oxide + oxygen => Nitrogen Dioxide
What are he two main components of the atmosphere?
The two major components of the earth's atmosphere are nitrogen and oxygen. There is also trace amounts of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and other gases.
Do carbon and nitrogen make oxygen?
No. Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen are separate elements.
Why is it that the nitrogen have greater amount than oxygen?
nitrogen is lighter than oxygen
Chemical formula of nitrogen monoxide?
The chemical formula for nitrogen monoxide is NO. It consists of one nitrogen and one oxygen atom per molecule of nitrogen monoxide.
What two chemical elements make up most of Earth's atmosphere?
99% of the atmosphere is nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%).
