1) describe what part of the planet or moon you are describing (atmosphere, geosphere, etc.), and then
2) describe the substances. Be sure to express the substances by their chemical name and atomic make up (i.e. carbon dioxide CO2)

Atoms and molecules. We're transitioning into understanding how atoms combine/react to become molecules and where these molecules can be found. For this week I'd like you to do some research and find out what kinds of substances (elements and molecules) we can find on planets and moons. SO pick a moon or planet and ...

I picked mars and the atmosphere is mostly made of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and argon. CO2, N,Ar

Good start Kyler, but for more points, can you compare this with the atmospheres of other planets? Or how about describing the uses of Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen, and Argon?

Jupiter's Atmosphere is mostly made up of molecular hydrogen and helium. The elements found in this planet are....

Okay Jennifer. Good Start. Now, I need you to tell me where are these elements found in Jupiter? Are these all in the atmosphere, core, or ??? Are there any compounds found in Jupiter?

Yes, they all are found in Jupiter's atmosphere. The compounds found on Jupiter are ices like H2O, CO2, NH3, CH4

The planet or moon i chose was earth. The earth is mostly made up or Iron and oxygen. The mostly found compound in the atmosphere is Carbon Dioxide (Co2), it is the result of all the oxygen using forms of life. The main compound everyone knows in earth is water (H2o). There is many other compounds but water is the main compound and is also earths most common. It takes up most of the earths surface.

Nice input even if it is Earth. :) There may be some things not quite right though. Find for extra extra credit! Comments are closed.
