Best Answer

it is non flammable gas spark no explosion no fire.

Added....Any of the intert gases are non flamable. Perhaps it's because Nitrogen is likely the cheaper and easier to produce than the other intert gases.

What gases from the earths atmosphere are most abundant?

We know that nitrogen (at about 78%) and oxygen(at about 20 %) are the most abundant gases in the atmosphere. By inspection, it's obvious that there is only a couple of percent for all the other gases combined.

No there is also nitrogen (78%), carbon dioxide and other rare gases in the atmosphere.

What is the environmental effect caused by oxides of nitrogen and sulfur dioxide?

Nitrogen and sulphur oxides are poisonous gases which are released from vehicles and industries. They are poisonous and cause breathing problems and other respiratory problems. Not only this, these gases are most commonly referred air pollutants. Nitrogen oxides are among the few ozone depletors.


The air that you mostly breathe is oxygen carbon dioxide ozone or nitrogen?

The air that we breathe in 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other gases. We only need the oxygen though, so we breathe out the other gases with the carbon dioxide that our body produces during respiration. So to answer your question, it is nitrogen, but we breathe it in and then out- we don't use it. The only gas we use is oxygen to breathe.


What gases are present in the oxygen?

There is only oxygen in oxygen. If you mean what gases are present in "air" then it's mostly nitrogen (about 78%), oxygen (about 20%) and argon (.93%) and the other 1.07% is made up of 13 other gases including carbon dioxide and trace amounts of ammonia, to name a few.


Is the atmosphere of earth made of oxygen and carbon dioxide?

The atmosphere includes gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide. It would not be accurate to say that it is "made of" only these two gases. In fact, these two gases only make up 21% of the atmosphere. The atmosphere is also made up of many other gases like nitrogen (78%) and rare gases like helium and argon.


Is nitrogen and oxygen mono atomic?

No. The only monatomic elements are the so-called noble gases.
