The gases like nitrogen and oxygen are not greenhouse gases because they do not absorb infrared radiation.

<h3>What are Greenhouse gases?</h3>

Greenhouse gas is a gas that has the property of absorb infrared radiation from the Earth’s surface and reradiate back to the Earth’s surface, thus contributing to the greenhouse effect.

<h3>What is infrared radiation?</h3>

Infrared radiation is an electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than those of visible light.

Carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, and water vapour are the most important greenhouse gases.

Hence, nitrogen and oxygen are not greenhouse gases despite being in the atmosphere.

The atomic number of an element is the total number of which particles in the nucleus?
VARVARA [1.3K]

An atom of element has there subatomic particles namely, proton, electron and neutron. Here, for a neutral atom, number of proton is equal to number of electron (this is not in the case of ions), this is equal to atomic number of an atom. In an atom, nucleus contains protons and neutrons which is responsible for mass of the atom and electrons move around nucleus in fixed orbits. Thus, atomic mass of an atom is equal to sum of number of protons and neutrons.

Option (b): Proton is the particle in nucleus of an atom, whose total number is equal to atomic number of that atom.

(4) Option (b): Atoms of same element have same atomic number because mass number can be different for different isotopes of atom. Since, atomic number is equal to number of protons, thus, number of protons are same for all atoms of the same element.

(5) Option (d): Isotopes are defined as atoms of same element with same atomic number but different mass number. Thus, correct option is (d) mass numbers.

♔♔Can water stay liquid below zero degrees Celsius?✞♡♡♡​
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Yes, water can stay liquid below zero degrees Celsius. There are a few ways in which this can happen. The freezing point of water drops below zero degrees Celsius as you apply pressure. When we apply pressure to a liquid, we force the molecules to get closer together.

Explanation:

Hope this helps you. Have a nice day.^_^

Una muestra de 1 gramo de un elemento contiene 1,5 x 1022 atomos, cual es su masa molar❓❓
marusya05 [52]

El número de Avogadro es 6,022 x 10^23, y es el número de átomos que hay en un mol de dicho elemento. A su vez un mol es la cantidad de un elemento cuya masa en gramos coincide con el peso atómico.

Por tanto, 6,022 x 10^23 átomos del elemento tienen una masa en gramos igual a su peso atómico. Hacemos una regla de tres:


1 gramo -------- 1,5 x 10^22 átomos

x ------------------ 6,022 x 10^23 átomos


=> x = 40,1 gramos por mol del elemento.


De modo que su peso atómico es 40,1. Se trata del calcio.


Saludos.
