What gases are the main greenhouse gases and how they are upsetting the Earth and also demonstrate using chemical reactions?

Many chemical compounds present in Earth's atmosphere behave as 'greenhouse gases'.The natural GHGs are:carbon dioxidemethanewater vapornitrous oxideThe artificial or man-made GHGs are:chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)Perfluorocarbons (PFCs)sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).There is no chemical reaction which allows them to increase the retention of solar energy, just physical absorption and release of heat. This process allows the Earth's atmosphere to heat up.


What elements are essential to life. What are their chemical symbols?

Can a mixture be defined by chemical formula?

Not by a single one. You can have the individual compounds making up the mixture be present in a stoichiometric ratio, of course, though you don't have to.


Can anyone breathe on jupiter?

Yes, you could breath BUT Jupiter's atmosphere can not support human life, It is mostly made of molecular hydrogen and helium in roughly solar proportions; other chemical compounds are present only in small amounts and include methane, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and water.


What happens in chemosynthesis?

AnswerChemical reactions produce an endproduct or endproducts. Endproducts include the appearance of one or more chemical compounds or chemical elements that were not originally present in the form in which they appear after the reaction. Chemical reactions may also produce energy (if they are exothermic). There are many tens of thousands of chemical reactions. A general question engenders a general answer.
