Inert Gases Inert Gases and Characteristics • The inert gases are obtained by fractional distillation of air. • They are often used aboard chemical tankers and product carriers (smaller vessels). • Helium‚ Neon‚ Argon‚ Krypton‚ Xenon‚ Radon and are inert gases. • Duplet (Helium) or Octet • Full valence shell • • • • Weak interatomic force Very low melting and boiling points. Monatomic gases under standard conditions Helium has several unique qualities when compared with

Nobel gases are a group of six elements in group VIIIA of the periodic table; they are in the column farthest to the right. It is a collection of five elements: argon‚ helium‚ krypton‚ neon‚ radon‚ and xenon. Unlike most elements‚ the noble gases are monatomic‚ which means the element is a single atom instead of being in pairs or a combination. The atoms have stable configurations of electrons. In other words‚ under normal conditions they do not form compounds with other elements. They got there

events like super-storm Sandy continue to increase in their frequency and severity? Many modern scientists attribute these dangerous environmental trends of global warming to the ‘greenhouse effect’. The ‘greenhouse effect’ results from greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide rising into the atmosphere‚ trapping infrared radiation from the sun‚ and emitting ultraviolet radiation that can puncture the earth’s stratospheric ozone layer. A healthy ozone layer should prevent this from happening‚ but the
Premium Greenhouse gas Oxygen Carbon dioxide
Greenhouse gases Carbon dioxide is a colourless‚ odourless gas that makes up .04 percent of the earth’s atmosphere. It’s released by the breakdown of organic materials‚ by animals when they respire‚ and by the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide isn’t toxic—after all‚ we exhale it with every breath and use it to make our drinks fizzy. However‚ carbon dioxide is considered a pollutant because‚ as a greenhouse (heat-trapping) gas‚ it’s a significant contributor to global warming. In the last 150

Experiment #1 Date: September 13‚ 2011 Title: Diffusion in Gases I Aim: To observe the diffusion of bromine Apparatus and Materials: Glass tube‚ bromine‚ fume chamber Diagram: Procedure: -Liquid bromine was placed in a jar and covered Observations: When first placed in the jar the original color of bromine was red-brown. As it began to diffuse its color changed from dark brown to a lighter brown until it becomes a yellow-like orange color. As it was diffusing liquid bromine changes its state

Drew Staples 6/12/14 Properties of water Question Does mixing water with other substances change it’s boiling point. Research The boiling point of a liquid is when the temperature causes the vapor pressure to be equal to the air. Air density will change waters boiling point. High altitudes give water a lower boiling point. Hypothesis If the water is less dense then it will boil faster and the boiling point will be lower.

based on my research‚ wind energy is the result of the sun’s energy interacting with the earth’s surfaces. It is also an ideal renewable energy source that is infinitely sustainable; pollution free; doesn’t use fuel; and doesn’t produce greenhouse gases‚ toxic or radioactive waste. This type of energy is considered a green power technology because it has minor impacts on the environment. When using wind to generate electricity we use machines known as turbines and this turbines use blades that are

Introduction: The presence of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere last year reached its highest levels since pre-industrial times‚ a report released by the United Nations World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warns recently. Even if we managed to halt our greenhouse gas emissions today‚ and this is far from the case‚ they would continue to linger in the atmosphere for decades to come and so continue to affect the delicate balance of our living planet and our climate. The latest
