Section outline

    • Lecture 01 Atmospheric chemicals, compounds, gas phase reactions, reaction rates and lifetime Lesson


      Key issues:

      • Study of: atoms, molecules, elements, compounds in the air
      • Chemicals: molecules in the gas, liquid or solid phases
      • Become familiar: important gases
      • Identify: chemical reactions occur in the atmosphere
      • Reaction rate: concentration and reactivity by lifetime
