In the previous segment, we learned about the introduction to air. In this segment, we will learn about the components of air.
What are the components of air?
Nitrogen is the most abundant component found in the air. This is followed by oxygen. A small percentage of air consists of noble gases like argon, neon, helium, and other components like carbon dioxide, water vapour, dust, smoke particles etc.
Composition of air
The amount of nitrogen present in the air is around 78%. Oxygen accounts for around 21% of the total air. The remaining 1% is occupied by the noble gases and other components.
Among these, argon occupies most of the amount at 0.9% and is followed by carbon dioxide at 0.04 %.
