respond to the headline: Greenhouse effect poses threat to life on earth - ANSWER- i
think your statement was too vague. Not yet, hace the greenhouse gas levels
threatened life on earth. I think a more suitable headline would be "If the levels of
greenhouse gases continue to climb, what will our future be like?" or you could talk
about how the greenhouse gasses correlate with the increasing rise in temperature.
Argon (Ar) comprises almost 1% of the atmosphere. I know of only one compound
containing Ar, and it is unstable above -256 degrees C! Why is argon so unreactive? -
ANSWER- Argon is so unreactive because it is in the right most group on the periodic
table making it a Noble gas. Noble gases have all 8 valence electrons which make them
very stable
Argon is approximately 27 times more abundant than CO2, but does not contribute to
the greenhouse effect. Offer a brief explaination to account for this fact - ANSWER- If
Argon does not (typically) react to form compounds them argon atoms are physically
unable to vibrate and absorb heat emitted like the greenhouse gases. For example, and
argon atom could not do an asymmetric stretch if there is nothing bonded to it.
