Well, it's not only the most common gas, but the most abundant element in the
earth's crust as well. This may be because 70% of the earth's surface is covered
with water - H2O. So there is the potential for lots of metal oxides.
Also consider the great amount of silicate matters - sand, clays, all gemstones,
granites and basalts... all silicates, which means silicon and oxygen (silicon is the
second most abundant element in the earth's crust).
So we have oxides, hydroxides, carbonates, sulfates, nitrates... all bond with oxygen. Oxygen is looking for two more electrons to complete its outer shell, so
there are many bonding possibilities.
What else can I help you with?
Three most abundant gases in earth's crust?
The three most abundant gases in Earth's crust are nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), and argon (Ar). Nitrogen makes up about 78% of Earth's atmosphere, oxygen makes up about 21%, and argon makes up about 0.93%.
Approximately 20 percent of the earths atmosphere is made up of which gas?
Approximately 20 percent of the Earth's atmosphere is made up of oxygen.
What gases are found on the earth's crust?
Nitrogen is the most abundant gas on the earth crust. Argon is the second abundant gas on the earth crust. Oxygen is the third abundant gas on the earth crust. There are only three but it;s somthing! Hope this information helped you. :) There are not only three types of gasses found on earth but 11 to be exact and scientist are still trying to discover some more. The gasses found on Earth include Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Neon, Helium, Chlorine, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon, and Hydrogen.
The most abundant gas in the atmosphere is oxygen?
Nitrogen (N2) is the most abundant gas in the Earth's atmosphere having percent volume of 78.8 compare to Oxygen 20.95 %, which falls on the second place after Nitrogen.
What element is found in the crust the hydrosphere and the troposphere?
Oxygen is the element found in the crust, hydrosphere, and troposphere. In the Earth's crust, it primarily occurs in minerals and rocks, while in the hydrosphere, it is a key component of water (H2O). In the troposphere, oxygen is present as a gas, making up about 21% of the Earth's atmosphere. This element is essential for life and plays a crucial role in various geological and biological processes.
Oxygen is a gas at normal conditions. Scientists report that oxygen is the most common element in the earths crust. The earths crust is composed of solids and liquids. Explain this apparent contradi?
If you talk about elements, then oxygen is O, and O is found in many, many COMPOUNDS. So, if a compound is found in the crust, and if it contains oxygen (like water, H2O), then the element oxygen will be counted. It doesn't have to be in a gaseous form. In addition, O2 gas can also be found dissolved in some liquids.
The primitave earths atmosphere did not contain?
Oxygen gas
What gas was not part of early earths atmosphere?
oxygen
Which gas is not part of earths original athmosphere?
Oxygen.
In what form does oxygen occur in the Earth's crust?
Oxide
What is the method for modified atmosphere storage?
The gas in the pack will not be air, and usually low oxygen. Commonest gases used are nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
What gas was lacking from earths early atmosphere in the early precambrian?
oxygen
What is the second most abundant gas in the earths atmossphere?
Oxygen at 20.9%
Which is NOT one of the eight most common elements in Earths continental crust?
Helium is NOT one of the eight most common elements in Earth's continental crust. The eight most common elements are oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Helium is a noble gas and is not as abundant in the Earth's crust.
What does gas do to some scientist think was missing from earths early atmosphere?
oxygen
What is the percentage of Oxygen on earth?
Earth contains 21 percent of oxygen in the atmosphere!coz earth contains only hot gases and oxygen is not a hot gas!:D
Three most abundant gases in earth's crust?
The three most abundant gases in Earth's crust are nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), and argon (Ar). Nitrogen makes up about 78% of Earth's atmosphere, oxygen makes up about 21%, and argon makes up about 0.93%.
