What are some examples of gases?
Carbon Dioxide and OxygenHelium, neon, xenon, krypton, radon, chlorine, fluorine, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia, and freon are all gases at normal temperature and pressure. All substances will become gases at a sufficiently high temperature (which is to say, everything has a boiling point).Oxygen,Nitrogen, and HydrogenHelium, neon, xenon, krypton, radon, chlorine, fluorine, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia, and freonlpg,windHydrogen, helium, oxygen, nitrogen, argon and xenon are some noble gases. Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, chlorine, and bromine are gases that will kill you. Examples are almost endless.Oxygen, nitrogen, argon. In other words, air.
