You are probably thinking of Radon, which is a gas.
It is ozone. It is present as the ozone layer.
When ultraviolet radiation decomposes chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), the gas formed is typically chlorine gas (Cl2). This process is known as photodissociation, where the high-energy UV radiation breaks the carbon-chlorine bonds in the hydrocarbon, releasing chlorine gas as a byproduct. Chlorine gas is a highly reactive and toxic substance that can have detrimental effects on the environment and human health.
Ozone shields against incoming UV radiation
Radiation moves at the speed of light in a vacuum (approximately 299,792 kilometers per second). In a solid or liquid medium, the speed of radiation is slightly slower due to interactions with the medium's atoms or molecules. In a gas, radiation can travel faster compared to a solid or liquid but still slower than in a vacuum due to lower interaction with gas particles.
Ozone is the gas that absorbs ultraviolet radiation in the Earth's atmosphere. It forms a protective layer in the stratosphere that helps to shield the planet from the harmful effects of UV radiation.
Radiation
Ozone gas absorbs UV radiation in the Earth's atmosphere.
Ozone gas absorbs it. It absorbs the ultraviolet radiation of the sun.
radiation
A Geiger counter measures radiation levels by detecting ionizing radiation. When radiation interacts with the gas inside the Geiger-Muller tube, it causes the gas to ionize and create an electrical pulse that is counted by the device.
water vapor radiation
It is ozone. It is present as the ozone layer.
The gas that absorbs infrared radiation and contributes to the greenhouse effect is carbon dioxide (CO2).
Yes, radiation can occur in all three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. In solids and liquids, radiation can be absorbed or emitted by the atoms and molecules. In gases, radiation can also occur due to interactions between gas molecules and electromagnetic radiation.
No, radiation is not gas, at least not the nuclear kind. Nuclear radiation is generally divided into two kinds: particulate and electromagnetic. Neither of them is gas. It might be argued that alpha radiation, which is the "release" of an alpha particle from an unstable atomic nucleus, produces a gas. That's because an alpha particle is a pair of protons bound to a pair of neutrons, and this is a helium-4 nucleus. But radiation is not generally considered a gas..answer 2 perhaps you are thinking of Radon, which is a gas, but a different question.
The structural feature in a molecule necessary for it to absorb infrared radiation as a gas is the presence of dipole moments or vibrational modes that can interact with the infrared radiation.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas in the atmosphere that absorbs infrared radiation, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
