A chemist wants to show how the molecular structures of the major greenhouse-effect contributors allow them to absorb heat.
Which of the following would the chemist not be modeling?
A) carbon dioxide
B) carbon monoxide
C) chlorofluorocarbons
D) nitrous oxide
E) methane gas

Option C is the correct choice

Explanation:

The major contributor of green house effect are

a) Carbon dioxide (CO2)

b) Carbon Mono-oxide (CO)

c) Nitrous oxide

d) Methane

e) Ozone

The chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) is a man made green house gas and hence the chemist will not model it as it does not allow to absorb heat. Instead it leads to non ending chain reactions with the ozone layer thereby degrading it and hence allow entry of harmful UV rays.

Option C is the correct choice
