Jan 9, 2017 · What is the difference between $\ce {O}$ and $\ce {O2}$. If C is carbon and then why $\ce {O2}$ is oxygen.

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!

Jul 18, 2014 · This phenomenon is explained by s-p mixing. All the elements in the second period before oxygen have the difference in energy between the 2s and 2p orbital small enough, so that s-p mixing …

Nov 25, 2018 · Likewise $\ce {O2}$ is as much oxygen as atomic oxygen is. The only complication is that what we habitually think of as oxygen is oxygen as a gas comprised of $\ce {O2}$ molecules. …

Dec 10, 2022 · 0 Thermal energy is released from the reaction $\ce {2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O}$. Before the reaction takes place the system of $\ce {H2}$ and $\ce {O2}$ molecules are in a metastable state: …

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?

Apr 13, 2025 · The enthalpy of formation of O2 is zero at any particular temperature. The element is already in its ''standard state'' . Also please note that as per IUPAC, there is no standard …

And finally there is $\ce {O#O}$ where both oxygens are positively charged and are free radicals. Why are both positively charged? It is because 3 bonds already to oxygen means 1 lone pair and 5 …

Dec 11, 2021 · In the typical way these terms are used, the LUMO can't be the same as the HOMO. Since each of the pi spatial orbitals already have one electron, they are not unoccupied, so they can't …

The main benefit of oxygen is that its the most commonly available oxidizer. The main component of air that support combustion is oxygen. However titanium burns in nitrogen and so does lithium, and also …
