What happens when there is enough thermal energy in a liquid?

The intermolecular bonds exhibited by the molecules in a liquid can be overcome and the particles will evaporate into the gas phase taking the energy with them.

What is the kinetic energy formula?

Ek = 1/2mv(squared)

What are the units for kinetic energy?

Joules(J)

What are the units for mass in the kinetic energy formula?

Kilograms (kg)

What are the unit for velocity in the kinetic energy formula?

Meters per second (m/s)

When there is a higher molecular weight what does that do to the velocity?

The lower the velocity. vise versa

What are the most abundant gases in the atmosphere?

Nitrogen at 78% , Oxygen at 21%, Argon less then 1%, and Carbon Dioxide at 0.03%

What are the most prominent traces of gas in the atmosphere?

Neon, Helium, Methane, Krypton, Xenon, Hydrogen, Ozone and radon,

Why is nitrogen the most abundant gas in the atmosphere?

It contains triple bonds which require a lot of energy to break.

Where is a natural source of unusable nitrogen found?

In the roots of plants

Where is Methane found?

In marshlands and landfills resulting from anaerobic (no oxygen) fermentation of organic matter.

Where are large amounts of Methane found?
