What is mercury's composition compared with earth?

The composition of mercury is solid as well as earth.


Is there Mercury on Mercury?

There is no great amount of the element mercury on the planet Mercury. They are just named for the same Roman god. Being a smaller planet, there should be less metallic mercury within Mercury than is found within Earth, but this cannot be absolutely determined quantitatively. There are no measurable amounts of mercury vapor in Mercury's atmosphere. Atmospheric Composition of Mercury: 42% Molecular oxygen 29.0% sodium 22.0% hydrogen 6.0% helium 0.5% potassium Trace amounts of argon, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, xenon, krypton, and neon.


What did lavoisier contribute to the periodic table?

In 1789 Lavoisier published his Elementary Treatise of Chemistry in which he identified oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, phosphorus, Mercury, zinc and sulphur as substances which could not be broken down further - that is, they were identified as elements.


What is the composite of mercury?

Mercury is classed as a rocky body like the Earth. Its core (about 1800 kilometers in radius) is likely almost all iron. The mantle (about 600 kilometers thick) contains mostly silicates, as does the relatively thin crust.Overall, the best estimates are that 70% of the planet's mass is iron and the other 30% is silicate material.


Composition of atmosphere for Mercury?

Mercury has no atmosphere to speak of. There are traces of sodium, oxygen, argon, helium, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water and hydrogen floating around' but it's pretty much hard vacuum down to the surface.

What is the atmosphere composition of planet mercury?

Mercury has extremely thin atmosphere. It is composed of oxygen (42% by volume), sodium (29%), hydrogen (22%), helium (6%) and other compounds in smaller quantities.

What are the Minor gases on Mercury?

oxygen, sodium, hydrogen, helium, potassium, argon, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, xenon, krypton, and neon are all gasses on mercury but I can't quite tell you which ones are minor or major.


Can you tell me 2 solid 2 liquid and 2 gas elements?

solid: iron + copper? liquid: mercury gas: hydrogen,oxygen, nitrogen

What is H3N?

It is the chemical formula for ammonia. It stands for 3 Hydrogen atoms bonded to 1 Nitrogen atom. It can also be written as NH3 and is sometimes called hydrogen nitride (among other names).
