Power stations typically emit carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides as byproducts of burning fossil fuels to generate electricity. These emissions contribute to air pollution and climate change.

Can you give me a sentence for gasses?

The gasses released from the volcano were thick and suffocating.


Why do helium neon and argon have no electronegativity values?

Electronegativity is a measurement of the power of an atom to attract electrons. The Noble gases, like helium, neon, and argon all have full valence shells. This means they are very stable and have no need to bond. There are several methods of calculating electronegativity, and some of those methods do give values for the Noble gases. However, these numbers are not generally meaningful since the noble gases do not have a measurable electron affinity. Several of the noble gases can form bonds under special curcumstances.


Give one property in which liquids and gases differ?

One key difference between liquids and gases is their ability to maintain a fixed volume. Liquids have a definite volume, whereas gases do not have a fixed volume and will expand to fill the container they are in.


What type of gases do landfills give off?

Landfills give off a variety of gases, including methane, carbon dioxide, and volatile organic compounds. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming, while carbon dioxide is a byproduct of organic waste decomposition. Volatile organic compounds can contribute to air pollution and unpleasant odors.


What gas lpg mainly contains?

LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) mainly contains a mixture of propane and butane gases. These gases are odorless and colorless in their natural state. To aid in leak detection, a distinct odorant is added to LPG to give it the characteristic smell.

What gases do nuclear power stations give off?

Nuclear power stations only give out steam. Unless there's been an explosion, They give out radioactive dust.


Is there power plants that don't give off harmful gases?

Sure. Nuclear power plants give off effectively no gases of any kind.


Which method of generating electricity produces carbon dioxide?

Coal power stations will give off CO2 emissions.


Do power plants give out pollution?

They spread gases that thickens the atmosphere, causing the heat to be blocked from exiting to space.. The gases are heavy, and comes down to the ground causing pollution.


Can radio active ants give us power?

Not really no. If ants are polluted with enough radioactivity to give anything like a reasonable amount of energy, it would kill them immediately. As things are, not many things are radioactive enough to be useful for power, and certainly not ants. We don't get power much from radioactivity anyway. Nuclear power stations give us power in far more complicated ways.


Why is more than 2 seismic stations needed to measure an earthquake?

Two stations each give out a circle. Those circles intersect at two places. When a third station is added, there are three circles. These three circles only intersect together at one place. That's where the precise earthquake location is.


What natural gases give power to the sun?

Our sun gets energy from fusing hydrogen atoms with neutrons to form helium atoms.

Are power stations bad or good?

In some ways, power stations can be really useful. They can give electricity to thousands and thousands of people. They are a tonne better than wind farms because they generate more electricity, are quite quiet and are way smaller so the can be hidden by other objects (e.g: trees...). The power stations don't actually pollute the air as much as we think they do, the only thing that comes out of the chimneys is clean steam, (this only means when the steam cools it will transform into rain (not too good for us though)). However, there is a slight downside to this. The only way the power stations can make steam is to use coal which is one of our fossil fuels-which are running out very quickly-so we can't really say that power stations are perfect.

Should you give tips on full service gas stations in the US?

It is not necessary to give tips with full service gas stations as this is part of customer service, but, an individual can give a tip (gratuity) if they so chose.


Besides nuclear power stations what other methods of electricity generation are used on a large scale throughout the world Give some examples of the countries in which these various methods are used?

The only other widespread, large-scale ways to generate electricity are gas, oil and coal-fired power-stations. All else is small beer.
