StarStarStarStar

Nitrogen (N2)

StarStarStarStar

Main component of the atmosphere, responsible for inert environment and crucial for the nitrogen cycle.

StarStarStarStar

Oxygen (O2)

StarStarStarStar

Essential for respiration in aerobic organisms and involved in combustion processes.

StarStarStarStar

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

StarStarStarStar

Contributes to the greenhouse effect and is a key reactant in photosynthesis.

StarStarStarStar

Argon (Ar)

StarStarStarStar

Acts as a non-reactive filler gas in the atmosphere.

StarStarStarStar

Methane (CH4)

StarStarStarStar

Strong greenhouse gas that contributes to the Earth's warming.

StarStarStarStar

Ozone (O3)

StarStarStarStar

Absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation in the stratosphere.

StarStarStarStar

Nitrous Oxide (N2O)

StarStarStarStar

Greenhouse gas with significant global warming potential and involved in atmospheric chemical reactions.

StarStarStarStar

Water Vapor (H2O)

StarStarStarStar

Reinforces the greenhouse effect and is essential for cloud formation.

StarStarStarStar

Helium (He)

StarStarStarStar

Inert gas used in balloons and as a shield gas in certain industrial processes.

StarStarStarStar

Neon (Ne)

StarStarStarStar

Inert gas used in neon signs and high-voltage indicators.

StarStarStarStar

Hydrogen (H2)

StarStarStarStar

Lightest and most abundant element in the universe, has potential as a clean fuel.

StarStarStarStar

Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)

StarStarStarStar

Produces acid rain and has implications for human health and the environment.

StarStarStarStar

Ammonia (NH3)

StarStarStarStar

Plays a role in the nitrogen cycle and is used in agriculture as fertilizer.

StarStarStarStar

Freons (CFCs)

StarStarStarStar

Synthetic compounds causing ozone layer depletion.

StarStarStarStar

Xenon (Xe)

StarStarStarStar

Inert gas used in light sources and medical imaging.

StarStarStarStar

Chlorine (Cl2)

StarStarStarStar

Used in the disinfection of water but harmful to the ozone layer as a reactive gas.

StarStarStarStar

Krypton (Kr)

StarStarStarStar

Inert gas used in lighting and insulation applications.

StarStarStarStar

Radon (Rn)

StarStarStarStar

Radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer upon exposure.

StarStarStarStar

Carbon Monoxide (CO)

StarStarStarStar

Toxic gas resulting from incomplete combustion, can be fatal when inhaled in large quantities.

StarStarStarStar

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)

StarStarStarStar

Toxic and flammable gas with a characteristic smell of rotten eggs.
