chemical properties of oxygen

Let us learn about chemical properties of oxygen

Oxygen is the important element in the respiratory processes of most of the living cells & in combustion processes.

Oxygen gas supports combustion, combines with most elements, & oxygen is a component of hundreds of thousands of organic compounds.

Oxygen gas can be separated from air by fractionated liquefaction & distillation.

Oxygen is a reactive oxidizing agent.

Its Para magnetism is very strong.

Liquid oxygen is also considered as slightly paramagnetic.

Ozone is a highly reactive & powerful reactive agent. Oxygen gas is a colorless, odorless gas with the molecular formula O2, in which the 2 oxygen atoms are chemically bonded to each other. Oxygen has atomic number eight & it is represented by the symbol O. Oxygen is a member of the halogens group on the periodic table, & it is a highly reactive nonmetallic period 2 element which readily forms compounds with almost all other elements. Atomic Number of oxygen: 8 Atomic Radius: 66 pm Atomic Symbol: O Melting Point of oxygen: -218.79 C Atomic Weight of oxygen: 15.9994 Boiling Point of oxygen: -182.95
