Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas; therefore, gases containing oxygen—such as ozone, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide—are not greenhouse gases either. Which of the following is a valid response to this statement?
a. False. Oxygen is a special case because of its reactivity and electronegativity.
b. True. Compounds display emergent properties that are very similar to those of the elements that form them.
c. True. It is impossible for a gas containing oxygen to be a greenhouse gas.
d. True. Because oxygen is not a greenhouse gas, it is unlikely to combine with anything at a higher level of organization to form a greenhouse gas.
e. False. Compounds can have emergent properties that are very different from those of the elements that form them.
Ans: e. False. Compounds can have emergent properties that are very different from those of the elements that form them.
