Responses
Oxygen and nitrogen have asymmetric vibration when struck by infrared radiation.
Oxygen and nitrogen have asymmetric vibration when struck by infrared radiation.
The molecules are made up of three atoms.
The molecules are made up of three atoms.
Infrared radiation is absorbed and remitted by these molecules.
Infrared radiation is absorbed and remitted by these molecules.
Oxygen and nitrogen are tightly bound and cannot vibrate in a way to absorb energy.Which statement best summarizes the presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?(1 point)
Responses
The atmosphere is mostly non-greenhouse gases, so the small amount of greenhouse gases have little impact on climate.
