Jan 9, 2017 · The common confusion here is that two very different things have the same name. O is a free oxygen atom and 2 O X 2 is two oxygen atoms chemically bound to form an oxygen molecule. …

Nov 25, 2018 · But why do we call O2 oxygen is my question? I thought only an atom with 8 protons can be called oxygen?

Jul 18, 2014 · S-p mixing is the primary cause of the difference in the molecular orbitals of nitrogen and oxygen, which is influenced by the initial atomic orbital energies. The lighter second period elements …

$\\ce{O2}$ has a double bond in its normal form. That is $\\ce{O=O}$. There are no unpaired electrons in this case are there since there are 2 lone pairs on each oxygen. However 1 resonance structure

Oct 16, 2024 · Are the relative importance of $\ce {2 Hg + O2 -> 2HgO}$ and $\ce {2HgO -> 2 Hg + O2}$ dependent of the temperature ? If so (yes), what is the fundamental reason of the evolution of …

Jul 9, 2015 · Although CO has a much greater affinity for a ferrous heme than does O2 (by a factor of about 25,000), the affinity of CO for deoxyhemoglobin is only about 200 times greater than that of …

May 30, 2017 · I just saw something in a chemistry lesson what got me confused. What is the difference between $\\ce{2O}$ and $\\ce{O2}$? Thanks for the help!

May 3, 2016 · Paramagnetic molecules are molecules that have single electrons. When I draw the lewis structure of $\\ce{O2}$, it appears to be a diamagnetic structure. What makes it paramagnetic?

Jan 16, 2024 · Similarly, O2 is released, so I always thought that it would be in the gaseous state. As the other answer states, this is a net reaction (or a black box with inputs and outputs).

Nov 29, 2022 · O2 and N2 are essentially idea gas in everyday condition. Suppose there is only O2 ideal gas, then it will distribute throughout the whole atmosphere. Now lets add N2 to the atmosphere as …
