Different molecules have different characteristic vibrational frequencies for their interatomic bonds. They absorb energy that matches that frequency. The vibrational frequencies for O2 and N2 bonds don't match the main wavelengths of the energy coming from the sun or radiating back out from the earth. Water (~98 of the greenhouse effect is from water vapor) and other greenhouse gases DO have vibrational frequencies that match that energy and thus readily absorb it.
What else can I help you with?
Why is nitrogen not considered a greenhouse gas?
Nitrogen is not considered a greenhouse gas because it does not absorb or emit infrared radiation, which is necessary for a gas to contribute to the greenhouse effect.
Which of the following gases is not a green house gas?
Nitrogen is not a greenhouse gas. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and fluorinated gases like chlorofluorocarbons. Nitrogen is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere but does not contribute significantly to the greenhouse effect.
Nitrogen monoxide and oxygen are called?
Nitrogen monoxide and oxygen are called nitrogen dioxide when combined. It is a reddish-brown gas with a distinctive pungent odor.
What is a greenhouse gas containing only hydrogen and oxygen?
Water vapor is a greenhouse gas that contains only hydrogen and oxygen.
Which gas is a greenhouse gas A nitrogen B sulfur dioxide C oxygen D carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
What type of energy does a greenhouse gas transfer to nitrogen and oxygen?
A greenhouse gas primarily transfers infrared energy to nitrogen and oxygen. This energy is absorbed and re-emitted by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, contributing to the Earth's greenhouse effect and warming the planet.
Are oxygen and nitrogen important greenhouse gases?
Independently, oxygen and nitrogen are not greenhouse gases (though N2O, NO and NO2 are greenhouse gases). The most important greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide. Methane, although found in quite low concentrations is also important because of its proportionately greater effect.
Why is nitrogen not considered a greenhouse gas?
Nitrogen is not considered a greenhouse gas because it does not absorb or emit infrared radiation, which is necessary for a gas to contribute to the greenhouse effect.
What is the chemical name of a greenhouse gas that contains carbon and oxygen A Carbon Dioxide B Nitrogen Dioxide C Sulfur Oxide D Laughing Gas?
The chemical name of a greenhouse gas that contains carbon and oxygen is carbon dioxide.
Is nitrogen the most important gas in greenhouse gases?
No, carbon dioxide is the most important greenhouse gas in terms of its overall contribution to global warming. However, nitrogen is also a greenhouse gas and can contribute to climate change when it is released in the form of nitrogen oxides.
What is the product of nitrogen gas and oxygen gas?
The product of nitrogen gas and oxygen gas is nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas.
Which of the following gases is not a green house gas?
Nitrogen is not a greenhouse gas. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and fluorinated gases like chlorofluorocarbons. Nitrogen is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere but does not contribute significantly to the greenhouse effect.

Water vapor is a greenhouse gas that contains only hydrogen and oxygen.
Which gas is a greenhouse gas A nitrogen B sulfur dioxide C oxygen D carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
What is not considered a greenhouse gas in the Earth's atmosphere?
Oxygen is not considered a greenhouse gas in the Earth's atmosphere.
Why do nitrogen and oxygen do not cause the greenhouse effect?
Nitrogen and oxygen do not cause the greenhouse effect because they are not greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor have properties that enable them to absorb and emit infrared radiation, trapping heat in the earth's atmosphere. Nitrogen and oxygen, although abundant in our atmosphere, do not have the same ability to trap heat in the same way.
