Today we’re going to learn five genius facts about gases fact number one gases can take any shape because their molecules aren’t linked together. This means that gases can move freely around any space and can be condensed into any container gas molecules can spread out and are very energetic most gases are invisible fact. Number two. Tungsten hexafluoride is one of the heaviest gases in the world the formula for Tungsten hexafluoride is wf6. It is a toxic and colorless gas with a density of about 13 grams per liter.
Meaning it is roughly 11 times heavier than air tungsten hexafluoride is a highly corrosive gas. This means that wf6 will damage any other substances that it comes into contact. Fact number three, although there are many different types of gases. The two main categories are natural gases and artificial gases. Natural gases are made by nature and they are odorless. They are also lighter than air examples of natural gases would be oxygen and nitrogen these two natural gases are the most abundant gases in the atmosphere artificial gases are made by humans from chemical reactions.
These gases can be very harmful under often known as man-made greenhouse gases because they have a negative impact on the environment carbon dioxide and methane are known as artificial gases. Fact number four gases are much faster than you may think. Although we can’t all be sea gases. They are constantly moving around a great speeds. Some gases can move around at up to and over 1,500 kilometers per hour that is very fast even faster than an airplane some gas particles move so fast, they even travel faster than the speed of sound it’s hard to even imagine such speed fact number five gas is essential to life on Earth as humans can’t live without oxygen plants use carbon dioxide during photosynthesis If plants couldn’t photosynthesize there would be little food left on our planet and we wouldn’t be able to survive we use gas in our everyday lives gas can be used for cooking electricity and heating gas is very Valuable in hospitals oxygen and nitrogen is often used to help people who have trouble breathing on their own when in pain patients are giving gas and air to relieve pain this gas is called entenox, which is a mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide. I hope you enjoyed my five genius facts about gases. See you next time.
