OR:

This is a list of gases at standard conditions, which means substances that boil or sublime at or below and 1 atm pressure and are reasonably stable.


List

This list is sorted by boiling point of gases in ascending order, but can be sorted on different values. "sub" and "triple" refer to the sublimation point and the
triple point In thermodynamics, the triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure at which the three Phase (matter), phases (gas, liquid, and solid) of that substance coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium.. It is that temperature and pressure at ...
, which are given in the case of a substance that sublimes at 1 atm; "dec" refers to
decomposition Decomposition is the process by which dead organic substances are broken down into simpler organic or inorganic matter such as carbon dioxide, water, simple sugars and mineral salts. The process is a part of the nutrient cycle and is ess ...
. "~" means approximately. Blue type items have an article available by clicking on the name.
