Argon ( αργος, Greek meaning " inactive ", in reference to its chemical inactivity ) was suspected to be present in air by Henry Cavendish in 1785 but was not isolated until 1894 by Lord Rayleigh and Sir William Ramsay in Scotland in an experiment in which they removed all of the oxygen, carbon dioxide, water and nitrogen from a sample of clean air.

The key elements of an amino acid are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.

In these compounds, at least one carbon atom is replaced by one of the heteroatoms oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur.

The lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen is delocalized into the carbonyl, thus forming a partial double bond between N and the carbonyl carbon.

Besides hydrogen, other elements can be bound to the carbon chain, the most common being oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and chlorine.

In addition to carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, alkaloids may also contain oxygen, sulfur and more rarely other elements such as chlorine, bromine, and phosphorus.

Plastics are made from synthetic carbon polymers, often with oxygen and nitrogen atoms included at regular intervals in the main polymer chain.

Carbon will yield carbon dioxide, nitrogen will yield nitrogen dioxide, sulfur will yield sulfur dioxide, and iron will yield iron ( III ) oxide.

Cosmic ray spallation ( fragmentation ) of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen is important to the production of lithium, beryllium and boron.

The abundance of elements in Earth's crust differs from those in the universe ( and also the Sun and heavy planets like Jupiter ) mainly in selective loss of the very lightest elements ( hydrogen and helium ) and also volatile neon, carbon, nitrogen and sulfur, as a result of solar heating in the early formation of the solar system.

The composition of the human body, by contrast, more closely follows the composition of seawater, save that the human body has additional stores of carbon and nitrogen which are necessary to form the proteins and nucleic acids that are characteristic of living organisms.

A cyanide is a chemical compound that contains the cyano group ,-C ≡ N, which consists of a carbon atom triple-bonded to a nitrogen atom.

Cyanides most commonly refer to salts of the anion CN < sup >−</ sup >, which is isoelectronic with carbon monoxide and with molecular nitrogen.

The dye Prussian blue was first accidentally made around 1706, by heating substances containing iron and carbon and nitrogen.

At the same time, too much air or water also slows the process, as does too much carbon ( or too little nitrogen ).

Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids.

Since the Industrial Revolution, emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere have increased.

Title IV of these amendments established the Acid Rain Program, a cap and trade system designed to control emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.

Emissions of nitrogen oxides which are oxidized to form nitric acid are of increasing importance due to stricter controls on emissions of sulfur containing compounds.

The principal cause of acid rain is sulfur and nitrogen compounds from human sources, such as electricity generation, factories, and motor vehicles.

However, the particulates responsible for acid rain ( sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides ) do have an adverse effect.

The overall goal of the Acid Rain Program established by the Act is to achieve significant environmental and public health benefits through reductions in emissions of sulfur dioxide ( SO < sub > 2 </ sub >) and nitrogen oxides ( NO < sub > x </ sub >), the primary causes of acid rain.

Exhaust from a spark ignition engine consists of the following: nitrogen 70 to 75 % ( by volume ), water vapor 10 to 12 %, carbon dioxide 10 to 13. 5 %, hydrogen 0. 5 to 2 %, oxygen 0. 2 to 2 %, carbon monoxide: 0. 1 to 6 %, unburnt hydrocarbons and partial oxidation products ( e. g. aldehydes ) 0. 5 to 1 %, nitrogen monoxide 0. 01 to 0. 4 %, nitrous oxide < 100 ppm, sulfur dioxide 15 to 60 ppm, traces of other compounds such as fuel additives and lubricants, also halogen and metallic compounds, and other particles.

One study's results showed that it produced ( in order of descending quantities ) 55. 91 % solid products: potassium carbonate, potassium sulfate, potassium sulfide, sulfur, potassium nitrate, potassium thiocyanate, carbon, ammonium carbonate and 42. 98 % gaseous products: carbon dioxide, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen, methane, 1. 11 % water.

At higher temperatures, hafnium reacts with oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, boron, sulfur, and silicon.

Typical heteroatoms are nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, phosphorus, chlorine, bromine, and iodine.

There are, however, some additional products of the combustion process that include nitrogen oxides and sulfur and some uncombusted hydrocarbons, depending on the operating conditions and the fuel-air ratio.

Lanthanum combines with nitrogen, carbon, sulfur, phosphorus, boron, selenium, silicon and arsenic at elevated temperatures, forming binary compounds.

The carbon chain, typically between four and 24 carbons long, may be saturated or unsaturated, and may be attached to functional groups containing oxygen, halogens, nitrogen, and sulfur.

Examples of elements that plants need are: nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, and sulphur.

People excrete far more of certain water-soluble plant nutrients ( nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium ) in urine than in feces.

Human fecal matter and urine have high percentages of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, carbon, and calcium.

Eutrophication may accelerate this process by providing nitrogen and phosphorus for the more rapid growth of competitively dominant plants.

In 1805, the chemist John Dalton published his first table of relative atomic weights, listing six elements, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, sulfur, and phosphorus, and assigning hydrogen an atomic weight of 1.

In addition, nitrogen and phosphorus compounds from food and waste may lead to blooms of phytoplankton, whose subsequent degradation can drastically reduce oxygen levels.

A multivalent nonmetal of the nitrogen group, phosphorus as a mineral is almost always present in its maximally oxidised state, as inorganic phosphate rocks.

* Life as we know it requires the elements hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, phosphorus and sulfur ( H, C, N, O, Fe, P, and S respectively ) to exist at sufficient densities and temperatures for the chemical reactions between them to occur.

On the other hand, sulfur, nitrogen, and phosphorus make steel more brittle, so these commonly found elements must be removed from the ore during processing.
