How does the size of a nitrogen molecule compare to that of propane?

A nitrogen molecule (N2) is smaller than a propane molecule (C3H8). The size of a molecule is determined by its molecular weight and structure. Nitrogen is a diatomic molecule composed of two nitrogen atoms, while propane is a larger molecule composed of three carbon and eight hydrogen atoms.


Why do nitrogen oxide particles travel faster than bromine particles?

Nitrogen oxide particles travel faster than bromine particles because nitrogen oxides are smaller and lighter molecules, which allow them to move more quickly. Additionally, nitrogen oxides have lower molecular weight and higher temperature compared to bromine, which also contributes to their faster speed.


Does nitrogen dioxide diffuse faster than neon?

No. Gaseous diffusion is a function of mass, with lighter molecules diffusing more rapidly. Neon (approximate atomic mass of 20) is considerably lighter than nitrogen dioxide (approximate molecular mass 46).


Is carbon dioxide a macro molecule?

No, carbon dioxide is not a macromolecule. Macromolecules are large molecules made up of smaller subunits linked together, while carbon dioxide is a small molecule composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.


What kind of gas does Venus have?

Earth's original atmosphere was made up mainly of water vapor carbon dioxide and .?

The Earth's early atmosphere consisted of Carrbon Dioxide, methane, sulphur, ammonia, nitrogen and smaller amounts (aprox. 0.05%) of other gases.


Are oxygen molecules bigger or smaller then nitrogen molecules?

No CO2 is carbon dioxide, which is a compound consisting of one carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms. Carbon dioxide is what you breathe out and what is produced by cars. O2 is simply atmospheric oxygen (what you breathe in). Most oxygen exists as two oxygen atoms bonded together.
