A) \[C{{O}_{2}}\]
B) \[N{{O}_{2}}\]
C) \[S{{O}_{2}}\]
D) \[{{O}_{3}}\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Greenhouse gases are gases in an atmosphere that absorb and emit radiation within the thermal infra-red range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect. The primary greenhouse gases in the Earths atmosphere are water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. When these gases are ranked by their contribution to the greenhouse effect, the most important are| Gas | Formula | Contribution (%) |
| Water vapour | \[{{H}_{2}}O\] | 36-72% |
| Carbon dioxide | \[C{{O}_{2}}\] | 9-26% |
| Methane | \[C{{H}_{4}}\] | 4-9% |
| Ozone | \[{{O}_{3}}\] | 3-7% |
