Question

2) Which atmospheric gas slows down the speed of oxygen?​

Answer 1

atmospheric gas slows down the speed of oxygen is nitrogen

Answer 2

Nitrogen slows down the speed of oxygen.

• Nitrogen has the ability to prevent the rapid burning at the surface of the Earth. It is due to the fact that nitrogen dilutes oxygen which is a supporter of combustion.

• Thus, it slows down the speed of oxygen molecules.

• It is worth noting that atmospheric air contains 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 0.04 % carbon dioxide.
