What percentage of the Earth’s
atmosphere is composed (made up of):
•
•
•
% Nitrogen
% Oxygen
% Carbon dioxide
Learning Objectives
1. Know how the earth’s atmosphere has
changed over time.
2. Know the percentages of gases in dry air.
3. Know where the noble gases are found on a
periodic table.
4. Know how we use noble gases and what their
properties are.
How the Earth’s Atmosphere
Changed?
• During the first billion (1000 million) years
of the Earth’s existence, there was
intense volcanic activity.
• Rocks decomposed, elements reacted and
gases were released to form the first
atmosphere.
CO2

The Earth’s atmosphere was originally
very different from what it is today.

(H20) with small proportions of methane (

)and ammonia( ).

Fossil Fuel
Sedimentary Rock
Over billions of years, carbon dioxide became locked up
and in
rocks as carbonates.
as
The carbon dioxide in the changing
atmosphere was being removed by two
processes:
1. The formation of fossil fuels from carbon
compounds in plants and sea creatures.
2. The deposition of carbonates as sedimentary
rocks, following erosion by rivers and from the
shells and bones of sea creatures.
Our Atmosphere Today
• More or less the same for 200 million
years!
• Composed of about 80% (4/5) Nitrogen
• Composed of about 20 % (1/5) Oxygen
• Small proportion of other gases including
carbon dioxide, water vapour and noble
gases.

Nobel Gases
•
All chemically unreactive.
•
All colourless
•
All odourless
•
Have very low melting and boiling points
•
Exist as separate single atoms
(other
gaseous atoms exist as diatomic molecules
e.g. 02, H2, N2 etc).
Uses of Noble Gases
• Helium is a noble gas.
• Can anyone think of where Helium is used?
What properties of
helium make it
useful in balloons
and airships?
Helium is used in
balloons and
airships because it
has a low density
and it is nonflammable.
Uses of Noble Gases
• Argon and Krypton are used in filament
lamps (light bulbs)
• Neon and Argon are used in electric
discharge tubes to create fluorescent
signs.
– Neon tubes give a red colour.
– Argon give a blue colour

A
B
C
D
During the twentieth century, the proportion of
carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere increased.

the photosynthesis of plants.
the respiration of plants and animals.
13.4
A
B

this link is:
associated.

Questions
1. Explain how argon allows you to use an electric
light bulb for many hours. (2)
Because there is a vacuum inside the lamp, metal atoms
evaporate from the super hot tungsten filament. To
reduce this evaporation and prolong the life of the
filament, the bulb is filled with an unreactive gas which
can not react with the hot tungsten filament.
2. Explain how neon is used for advertising.(2)
The noble gases produce a coloured glow when their
atoms are bombarded by a stream of electrons. The
electrons come from either a high voltage discharge
across the terminals of a discharge tube.
Neon tubes give a red colour and argon give a blue colour.
