Why During combustion in air carbon sulfur and other non metals combines with oxygen not with nitrogen which is about 78 percent?
The bond between the two atoms in a nitrogen molecule is much stronger than the bond between the two atoms in an oxygen molecule. Therefore, the free energy change driving a reaction with oxygen is usually greater for reaction with oxygen, and the activation energy barrier is always lower, allowing the reaction with oxygen to proceed more rapidly, despite the greater concentration of nitrogen.
What is an element that is 3 times greater than the oxygen?
nitrogen
Does nitrogen have a higher bond energy than oxygen?
yes
What happens when you burn nitrogen?
Nitrogen is not flammable. Combining it with oxygen actually absorbs energy. Nitrogen forms various oxides including nitrous oxide (N2O), nitric oxide (NO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
What are the components of clean air?
Argon, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen
Why is it that the nitrogen have greater amount than oxygen?
nitrogen is lighter than oxygen
Which element has the greater bond energy oxygen or notrogen?
Oxygen has the greater bond energy.

nitrogen
Which element has the greater bond energy Oxygen or Nitrogen?
The bond between nitrogen atoms in an N2 molecule is stronger than the bond between oxygen atoms in an O2 molecule. However, bond energies for the same atom vary with formulas of compounds, so that there is no answer to this question that is correct for every compound of these two elements.
What does not travel through matter?
Energy nitrogen and oxygen
What element has the largest first ionization energy Oxygen Boron Nitrogen or Carbon?
Oxygen
Does nitrogen have a higher bond energy than oxygen?
yes
What gases that comprise the greater percentage of air?
Nitrogen, N2 and oxygen, O2
Is the average kinetic energy per molecule the same for oxygen and nitrogen molecules in air at a given temperature?
Oxygen and nitrogen have equal average kinetic energy per molecule at room temperature. This is assuming that both oxygen and nitrogen molecules are in fact at room temperature.
Why the first ionisation energy of O is less than that of N?
oxygen is more electronegative and so it wants the electron more than N
Why is the ionization energy of oxygen less than that of nitrogen even if oxygen is to the right hand side of nitrogen?
half filled P orbitals increase the stability resulting in higher ionization energy
