Yes, but it requires cryogenic conditions. The melting point of oxygen is 54.36K (-218.79 °C, -361.82 °F) compared to liquid nitrogen which boils at 77.36K (-195.79 °C, -320.42 °F). However, it is still much easier to make than liquid helium, which boils at only 4.22K.

How do you dry oxygen?
There are a couple of ways of drying oxygen, the first it to cool it past its boiling point, then past its melting point. This gives you a solid block of oxygen, though the temperature has to be maintained to keep it solid. The second way is to pressurize it, with enough pressure oxygen will be compacted into a solid, though again the pressure has to be kept up or it will vaporise again.
What family is sulfur in?
According to http://www.scienceclarified.com/Oi-Ph/Oxygen-Family.htlm:The oxygen family consists of the elements that make up group 16 on the periodic table: oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium. These elements all have six electrons in their outermost energy level, accounting for some common chemical properties among them. In another respect, the elements are quite different from each other. Oxygen is a gaseous nonmetal; sulfur and selenium are solid nonmetals; tellurium is a solid metalloid; and polonium is a solid metal.
What is the reaction between iron metal and oxygen gas making solid iron oxide?
the reaction between iron metal and oxygen gas making solid iron oxide
As oxygen heated will solid Oxygen sublime or melt under a pressure of 1 ATM?
it will melt.
Do a large number or a small number of the elements make up the largest portion of solid Earth living matter oceans and the atmosphere?
I think you would say that just a few elements dominate in each of these categories:atmosphere: just two elements, oxygen and nitrogen make up about 99-100%oceans and other waters: oxygen and hydrogen make up about 99-100%solid earth, mainly: oxygen, silicon, aluminium, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, titanium account for around 95%living matter: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen account for around 97%
What black solid reacts with oxygen to make carbon dioxide?
Coal
What does a human need to survive on Saturn?

What is opposite with oxygen?
The antonym of oxygen is a solid.
What is oxygen a solid liqid or gas?
Oxygen is a gas.
Why is oxygen not mineral?
Uncombined oxygen is a gas, not a solid, which is a requirement of a mineral.A mineral by definition is a solid with a crystal structure.
Does oxygen have elasticity?
No, oxygen is a gas and does not have a solid shape at all.
Is oxygen a crystal lattice?
Solid oxygen has crystalline structures.
Does oxygen have a crystal like nitrogen?
Solid oxygen has a cubic crystalline structure. Solid nitrogen has a hexagonal crystalline structure.
Is P4O10 a solid?
P4O10 is a solid element. It is a combination of phosphorus and oxygen.
Three main elements that make up living things?
solid liquid gas
Why don't you ever see solid oxygen?
You will never find a solid oxygen because oxygen solidifies at -225 degree celsius_a temperature to low for human survival/experience
Is oxygen a brittle solid at room temperature?
No. Oxygen is gaseous at room temperature.
