Yes, oxygen is very reactive. In fact its name was "borrowed" to refer to an entire class of energetic chemical reactions (even if they don't actually involve the element oxygen) called oxidation reactions.

Is oxygen hard or soft?

Oxygen is a non-metal element, so it is considered a "hard" element. In chemistry, "hardness" generally refers to the ability of an element to form bonds with other elements. Oxygen typically forms strong covalent bonds with other elements, contributing to its classification as a "hard" element.


Is Oxygen are strong bond(s) or weak bond(s)?

Oxygen typically forms strong bonds with other elements due to its high electronegativity. In most cases, oxygen forms covalent bonds with other elements or with itself, resulting in stable molecules or compounds.
