Consider the following Greenhouse Gases (GHG's): Sulfur hexafluoride, carbon dioxide, and trifluoromethane (a hydrofluorocarbon). Using the concepts of asymmetrical stretching and infrared absorption, rank the gases from weakest to strongest greenhouse gas, and explain your ranking that CH4 is a stronger GHG than CO2).

SOLVE STEP BY STEP IN DIGITAL FORMAT Explain the underlined paragraph, make it extensive and unambiguous, support its foundations in biochemistry and quantum mechanics. The sample substance used is 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH). This organic compound is a relatively stable free radical which has an unpaired valence electron at one atom of the nitrogen bridge. The orbital motion of the electron is almost cancelled by the molecular structure. Therefore the g-factor of the electron is almost equal to that of a free electron. In its polycrystalline form the substance is very well suited for demonstrating electron spin resonance because it has an intense ESR line, which, due to exchange narrowing, has a small width.

125 kg of coal contains about 7.0 % sulfur, by complete burning, the gases were circulated in a wet scrubber containing 25 kg of CaCO3 to convert SO2 evolved by complete burning to CaSO4. Is the amount of CaCO3 enough to absorb all SO2 or not? If not, how many molecules of SO2 will escape from the wet scrubber?

For molecules of similar size and number of atoms, those with double and triple bonds have smaller S than molecules with only single bonds. Why? O molecules with single bonds are larger than molecules with multiple-bonds O molecules with multiple bonds are more rigid and have less freedom of motion molecules with single bonds can move faster than those with multiple bonds molecules with multiple bonds have more vibrational energy than those with single bonds all of the statements above explain the given observation
How is this absorption of light related to the molecular shape of the atmospheric gases? Their symmetry? Theirpolarity?
