  • Elements in Air: A Breakdown of Atmospheric Composition
    The main substances in air that are elements are:

    * Nitrogen (N): Makes up about 78% of the air by volume.

    * Oxygen (O): Makes up about 21% of the air by volume.

    * Argon (Ar): Makes up about 0.93% of the air by volume.

    There are also trace amounts of other elements in the air, such as:

    * Carbon dioxide (CO2): While technically a compound, it contains the element carbon.

    * Neon (Ne)

    * Helium (He)

    * Krypton (Kr)

    * Xenon (Xe)

    * Hydrogen (H)

    * Ozone (O3): While technically a compound, it contains the element oxygen.

    These elements are all found in their gaseous state under normal atmospheric conditions.
