The table below shows the most common prefixes and their relative magnitudes. Note that web browsers do not support use of superscripts and subscripts very well, so the notation 10^ 2 means 10 to the power of 2, or 10 squared.Similarly, the notation 10- 2 should be read as 10 to the power of -2.lways put a space between the number and unit, e.g., 203.65 m, 457 um pH: The proper method for reporting pH is to place the unit before the number (pH 7); never insert the word of between the unit and number and avoid splitting the unit and number within a sentence-they should always go together.
What elements make up the gas compounds found in the atmosphere? The atmosphere is primarily composed of Nitrogen (N2), which accounts for 78%. Oxygen follows, accounting for 20% of its volume, with argon less than 1%. The remainder is compâ¦osed of particulates and trace gases, including water vapor.
The three main gases found in the Earth's air are nitrogen, oxygen and water vapor. A typical volume of air at sea level at 15 degrees Celsius contains approximately 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen and between 1 and 5 percent water vapor.
