Oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) do not have much greenhouse effect, but several trace gases including carbon dioxide (CO2), methan

e (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and various chlorofluorocarbons are important greenhouse gases. The primary mechanism by which these greenhouse gases warm the Earth is:A.Preventing convection currents that take heat aloft, in the same way that the glass of a greenhouse stops convection currents and so makes the air in the greenhouse warmer.B.Raising the atmospheric pressure, because squeezing air warms it, as we saw at the Redwoods.C.Experiencing chemical reactions with each other, which release energy.D.Absorbing some of the infrared radiation emitted from the Earth.E.Making politicians mad, so they give speeches that heat the air

Answer:

A.Preventing convection currents that take heat aloft, in the same way that the glass of a greenhouse stops convection currents and so makes the air in the greenhouse warmer

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases produce the greenhouse effect. The green house effect is the warming effect produced when gases present in the atmosphere allow and retain the radiation from the sun to the earth. Examples of greenhouse gases are CO2, CH4, SO3, NO, CFCs. The greenhouse effect leads to an increase in the temperature of the earth subsequently leading to (I) melting of large amounts of ice at the poles causing flooding. (II) rapid evaporation of water from Earth’s surface. (III) decrease in crop yield.

Also, high concentration CFCs ( chlorofluorocarbons ), as widely used in aerosols, coolants and packaging foams, in the atmosphere depletes the ozone layer leading to global warming. In 1996 an international agreement was reached for a complete ban of CFCs and more countries are now going Green ( using alternative energy sources ) so as to minimize emissions of these greenhouse gases.

Why are metals malleable,ductile,and good conductors
9966 [12]
The energy is transferred throughout the rest of the metal by the moving electrons. Metals are described as
malleable (can be beaten into sheets) and ductile (can be pulled out into wires). This is because of the ability of the atoms to roll over each other into new positions without breaking the metallic bond.

Can someone help me with this I've been stuck on it for a few days​
Fiesta28 [93]
So I haven’t got time to answer all of it for you but the id you look at the picture of the periodic table I’ve added the top number in the red boxes are the groups and the period is how many elements down from the top it is (remember that the hydrogen and helium make up period ONE) so remember to include them when counting the elements as you go down the table

¿Qué hecho indujo a Heisenberg a establecer el principio de incertidumbre?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Here's what I find  

Explanation:

Heisenberg observed that if we want to locate a moving electron, we must bounce photons off it.

However, this makes it recoil. By the time the photon returns to our eye, the electron will no longer be in the same place.

He concluded that there is a limit to the precision with which we can simultaneously measure the position and speed (momentum) of a particle.

The more precisely we know the electron's speed, the less precisely we know its position and vice versa.

The uncertainty in the product of the two values cannot be less than a fixed small number.
