Oxygen and nitrogen are the two most abundant gases in the atmosphere. They make up 99% of the air.

The gases in your atmosphere aside from oxygen and nitrogen make up what percentage of dry air?

Aside from Oxygen and Nitrogen, which make up roughly 99% of the Earth's atmosphere, the atmosphere is comprised of approximately 0.93% argon, and 0.038% carbon dioxide. The remaining 0.032% is a mixture of other gasses in relatively minuscule amounts.


Is the level of carbon dioxide changed by altitude?

Carbon dioxide is heavier than nitrogen (N2) or oxygen (O2), the primary constituents of our atmosphere (75% and 20%, approximately). But wind does a fairly thorough job of mixing the CO2 in the lower atmosphere, lofting it into the upper atmosphere. As an aside, CO2 will collect in cave depressions, such that people venturing into caves or old mine cavities are subject to asphyxiation.


Could humans live on uranus if there were air?

No. Uranus does have an atmosphere, but not one we could breath; it is mostly hydrogen and helium with no free oxygen. Even aside from that, Uranus is too cold and there is no surface to stand on.


Is there any oxygen on moon?

The Moon has an extremely thin atmosphere. It's about what you could get with a good roughing pump (forepump, rotary pump) in an Earth laboratory. However, it's not much like Earth's atmosphere at all, and in fact contains significant quantities of things like sodium (again, remembering that we're still talking about a pretty good vacuum here).So, for practical purposes: no, there is no air on the Moon.That's right, there's no air on the moon.

Is water present in air?

Aside from bubbles, there is no "air" in water, however oxygen and other atmospheric gases, such as oxygen or nitrogen, may readily absorb into water. Water is after all made up of two atmospheric gases, hydrogen and oxygen.

Can there ever be a diatomic compound?

Yes, diatomic refers to a molecule comprising of two atoms. Thus nitrogen gas (N2), oxygen gas (O2) and hydrogen gas (H2) are all diatomic. These compounds can also be made up of different elements. Acid-base chemistry aside, hydroflouric acid (HF) and hydrochloride acid (HCl) are also diatomic
