  2. Nitrogen dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_dioxide

    Nitrogen dioxide is a chemical compound with the formula NO 2.One of several nitrogen oxides, nitrogen dioxide is a reddish-brown gas.It is a paramagnetic, bent molecule with C 2v point group symmetry.

  3. Neon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon

    The first remaining gas to be identified was krypton; the next, after krypton had been removed, was a gas which gave a brilliant red light under spectroscopic discharge. This gas, identified in June, was named "neon", the Greek analogue of the Latin novum ('new') [17] suggested by Ramsay's son. The characteristic brilliant red-orange color ...

  4. Gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas

    Drifting smoke particles indicate the movement of the surrounding gas.. Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter.The others are solid, liquid, and plasma. [1] A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide).

  5. Noble gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_gas

    The color of gas discharge emission depends on several factors, including the following: [95] discharge parameters (local value of current density and electric field, temperature, etc. – note the color variation along the discharge in the top row); gas purity (even small fraction of certain gases can affect color);

  6. Chlorine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine

    Chlorine is a toxic gas that attacks the respiratory system, eyes, and skin. [125] Because it is denser than air, it tends to accumulate at the bottom of poorly ventilated spaces. Chlorine gas is a strong oxidizer, which may react with flammable materials. [126] [127]

  7. High-intensity discharge lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_discharge_lamp

    HID Lamp Color Temperature Range. HID lamps produce different colors of light primarily through the use of various metal additives in the lamp's arc tube and the physics of the gas discharge process. [10] Metal Additives: HID lamps contain an arc tube filled with a mixture of gases, including a noble gas (like xenon). These metal additives are ...

  8. Volcanic gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_gas

    The Multi-Component Gas Analyzer System (Multi-GAS) is also used to remotely measure CO 2, SO 2 and H 2 S. [17] The fluxes of other gases are usually estimated by measuring the ratios of different gases within the volcanic plume, e.g. by FTIR, electrochemical sensors at the volcano crater rim, or direct sampling, and multiplying the ratio of ...

  9. Mustard gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustard_gas

    When the content of the SprüBü37 comes in contact with water, only the mustard gas in the outer layers of the lumps of viscous mustard hydrolyzes, leaving behind amber-colored residues that still contain most of the active mustard gas. On mechanically breaking these lumps (e.g., with the drag board of a fishing net or by the human hand) the ...
