What molecule was not present in early Earths reducing atmosphere?

Oxygen (O2) was not present in early Earth's reducing atmosphere. It only became abundant in the atmosphere due to the photosynthetic activity of cyanobacteria and other early organisms.


Why can helium escape earths atmosphere?

The helium atom does not form a diatomic molecule, unlike the main components of the atmosphere, nitrogen and oxygen, and it is a very light atom, actually the second lightest of all atoms (second only to hydrogen) and it is gravity which holds our atmosphere in place on the surface of the Earth, so the lighter the particle, the more easily it can escape into space.


What is the name of the compound O4?

Oxygen. This is the most typical form of elemental Oxygen. Since it consists of Oxygen atoms only it is not a compound which is a combination of two or more elements.O2 is most common gas found in the earths atmosphere. The name of this compound is Di oxygen. It is formed by bonding 2 oxygen atoms covalently.O2 is oxygen molecule.It exists in diatomic state.It means two atoms of oxygen are combined to form a molecule.


What gas molecule found in Earths atmosphere is made up of three oxygen atoms?

The gas molecule is ozone (O3). It is formed when oxygen (O2) molecules are split apart by ultraviolet radiation in the upper atmosphere and then recombine to form ozone. Ozone helps to protect Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.


Why percentage of nitrogen in air is higher?

That's simply the way earth's atmosphere evolved. And fortunate for us - if the earths atmosphere was 100% oxygen, the planet would have burst into flames long ago! Earth's atmosphere is 79% Nitrogen.

What transfer of heat by the movement of air currents in earths atmosphere is an example of?

The transfer of heat by the movement of air currents in Earth's atmosphere is an example of convection. As warmer air rises and cooler air sinks, heat is transferred through the circulation of air in the atmosphere.
