The amount of oxygen is 21 percent and it is likely to decrease due to global warming
and nitrogen is 78 percent. The CO2 (carbon dioxide) which is only 0.33 percent is causing much problems leading to global warming and other problems which may cause threat to life on earth.

The Earth's atmosphere is composed of approximately 78% nitrogen (N2) and 21% oxygen (O2). Other gases such as argon, carbon dioxide, and trace gases make up the remaining 1%.
Elements prefer to live in their natural forms.N2 and O2 are more stable than NO.Added:Air is a mixture of N2 and O2 molecules, where NO is a compound, chemically formed by reaction: N2 + O2 --> 2 NO. This reaction does not take place at normal conditions as in the air around us.
The bond order of N2 is 3, and the bond order of O2 is 2.
The balanced equation for the reaction between nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2) to form nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is: 2N2 + 4O2 -> 4NO2
Both N2 and O2 molecules consist of two atoms of the same element: nitrogen in the case of N2 and oxygen in the case of O2.
The balanced equation for the reaction between N2H4 (hydrazine) and O2 is: 2N2H4 + O2 -> N2 + 4H2O
