Based on your observations, compare the vibration of oxygen and the greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide and methane.

Oxygen exhibits only one mode of vibration, on the other hand, methane has four and carbon dioxide has three modes of vibration. The vibration of oxygen is only a single stretching movement, while both the molecules of methane and carbon dioxide can change greatly, and can range from bending to stretching in almost any direction or pattern.

atomic number of carbon is 6
