The atmosphere Made up of a mixture of gases (mainly N2 and O2) Mole fractions of major gases (nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon) are pretty constant with altitude ?interesting stuff? involves tiny amounts of trace gases ? ozone, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur and some others ~ 100% Breathing!!! Argon, Neon, Xenon ? rare gases often used in ?neon? lights Atmospheric gases can be separated by distillation, since they have different boiling points N2 77 K O2 90 K Ar 87 K Ne 24 K CH4 111 K Pressure profile of atmosphere Pressure drops almost exponentially with increasing altitude ... why?? Trop. Strat. Temperature profile in the atmosphere stratosphere pV = nRT ideal gas law is ?pretty good? (why??)

Chapter 3 – Water and the Fitness of the Environment 3.1 – The polarity of water molecules results in hydrogen bonding • Polar molecule – two ends of the molecule have opposite charges • Oxygen: δ- • Hydrogen: δ+ • Positive hydrogen of one molecule is attracted to negative oxygen of another in a hydrogen bond 3.2 – Four emergent properties of water contribute to Earth’s fitness for life • Four properties: cohesive behavior, ability to moderate temperature, expansion upon freezing, versatility as a solvent • Cohesion – the bonding of similar molecules through hydrogen bonds • Adhesion – the clinging of one substance to another • Surface tension – a measure of how difficult it is to stretch or break the surface of a liquid • Kinetic energy – energy of motion

Final Review Sheet Radio Active Decays Alpha decay occurs when the nucleus emits an alpha particle. Alpha particles have a positive charge and are equivalent in size to a helium nucleus, and so they are symbolized as . Alpha particles are the largest radioactive particle emitted. This type of radioactivity results in a decrease in the atomic number by 2 and a decrease in the atomic mass by 4. The equation below shows uranium-234 undergoing alpha decay:
