Answer:
Solar energy absorbed at Earth’s surface is radiated back into the atmosphere as heat. As the heat makes its way through the atmosphere and back out to space, greenhouse gases absorb much of it. Why do greenhouse gases absorb heat? Greenhouse gases are more complex than other gas molecules in the atmosphere, with a structure that can absorb heat. They radiate the heat back to the Earth's surface, to another greenhouse gas molecule, or out to space.
There are several different types of greenhouse gases. The major ones are carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, and nitrous oxide. These gas molecules all are made of three or more atoms. The atoms are held together loosely enough that they vibrate when they absorb heat. Eventually, the vibrating molecules release the radiation, which will likely be absorbed by another greenhouse gas molecule. This process keeps heat near the Earth’s surface. Most of the gas in the atmosphere is nitrogen and oxygen, which cannot absorb heat and contribute to the greenhouse effect.

Explanation:
Vanadium (V)
Vanadium is the only one in the 4th period here so
Answer: 2 mol
Explanation:
- According to the ideal gas law, One mole of an ideal gas at STP (standard temperature and normal pressure) occupies 22.4 liters.
- Using cross multiplication,
1 mol of (O2) → 22.4 L
? → 43.9 L
Therefore, the number of moles of oxygen in 43.9 L = (43.9 × 1)/ 22.4 = 1.96 mol≈ 2 mol..
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The ability of a gas to function as a green house gas depends on its ability to absorb infra red rays. In turn, the absorption of infrared red rays depends on whether or not the molecule is IR active.
The triatomic molecules such as methane and water are IR active. Only IR active molecules can lead to green house effect.
Note that for a molecular vibrational mode to be IR active, the dipole moment of the molecule is changed as the vibration occurs .
