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.

Answer:they are transparent to infrared light.

Explanation:because they are transparent to infrared light. These molecules are invisible because when you stretch one, it doesn't change the electric field

What activity occurs in the process of photosynthesis

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

<h2>Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of sugars. In a process powered by light energy, glucose (and other sugars) molecules are created from water and carbon dioxide, while oxygen is released as a by-product.</h2>

Gallium is produced by the electrolysis of a solution obtained by dissolving gallium oxide in concentrated NaOH(aq). Calculate t

zlopas [31]

Ga₂O₃ + 2NaOH + 3H₂O = 2Na[Ga(OH)₄]

[Ga(OH)]⁻ + 3e⁻ = Ga + 4OH⁻

n(Ga)=It/(zF)

I=0.200 A
t=40.0 min=2400 s
z=3
F=96485.33 Kl/mol

n(Ga)=0.200*2400/(3*96485.33)=0.00166 =1.66*10⁻³ mol

Which alcohol has the strongest intermolecular force of attraction? The weakest? Explain.A. 1-PropanolB. 1-ButanolC. n-pentaneD.

Alika [10]

Explanation:

Vander waal forces are defined as the weak electric forces which tend to attract the neutral molecules towards each other in gases, liquefied and solidified gases. And, it is also present in all organic liquids and solids.

Vander wall forces are basically present in all type of molecules. More is the number of carbon atoms present in a molecule more will be the presence of Vander waal forces.

As a result, butanol will have strongest intermolecular force of attraction because it contains more number of carbon atoms and also it has more electronegative oxygen atom.

Whereas n-pentane will have the weakest intermolecular force of attraction between its atoms.
