The objective of this homework assignment is to summarize and to analyze the chemistry of greenhouse gases in the context of physiochemical properties of molecules. What are the greenhouse gases and how do they contribute to climate change?  As part of this submission, you should propose alternative gases that are not considered traditional greenhouse gases, but could contribute to the greenhouse effect based on their chemistry.

Question

The objective of this homework assignment is to summarize and to analyze the chemistry of greenhouse gases in the context of physiochemical properties of molecules.

What are the greenhouse gases and how do they contribute to climate change? 

As part of this submission, you should propose alternative gases that are not considered traditional greenhouse gases, but could contribute to the greenhouse effect based on their chemistry. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that occurs when certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere, known as greenhouse gases, trap heat radiated from the Earth's surface, causing the Earth's temperature to rise. The most common greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).
