Oxygen can indeed be a gas and it is a gas at room temperature, which is why we are able to breathe it. When its temperature is lowered a great deal, it can be a liquid or, if the temperature is lowered further, it can be a solid (like ice).

∙ 11y agoYes , Oxygen gas is a neutral gas because two oxygen atoms form a covalent bond with each other to form an oxygen molecule and hence complete each others shells according to octet rule so the molecule of oxygen gas is neutral.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoOxygen atoms are neutral because they have the same number of protons (positively charged) as electrons (negatively charged) so the atom ends up neutral.

A sodium ion differs from a sodium atom in that the sodium ion?
A sodium ion differs from a sodium atom in that the sodium ion has a missing electron electron. It has a positive charge, as opposed to the atom, which is neutral.
When does the formation of a positive ion occur?
When a neutral atom loses one or more electrons, the atom becomes a positive ion.
A particle of matter contains of 6 protons 7 neutrons and 6 electrons This particle must be a A neutral carbon atom B neutral nitrogen atom C neutral oxygen atom D neutral potassium atom?
A. neutral carbon atom
How many bonds between the oxygen and hydrogen in a hydroxide atom?
First, it is the hydroxide ion, not hydroxide atom. In this ion there is only a single bond between the hydrogen and oxygen.
How many electrons does an ion of oxygen have?
First you want to start with how many electrons there are in a neutral atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons, which equals the atomic number, which is eight in this case. When becoming an ion and reacting with other elements in an ionic bond, oxygen will gain two electrons. So we just add two onto the number in a neutral atom for a total of ten.
Is oxygen neutral atom or ion?
A neutral atom, it only becomes an ion after it loses or gains an electron.
Is oxygen is a positive charge?
No. On its own oxygen is neutral. Its ion, the oxide ion, has a negative charge
Is hydrogen a neutral atom or ion?
Hydrogen atom is neutral.
Is xenon an isotope ion or neutral atom?
It is an isotope of a neutral atom.
Is boron a neutral atom or an ion?
I think it is neutral
Is nitrogen an neutral atom or an ion?
Neutral atom. An atom of nitrogen will also be an isotope of nitrogen.
What is an atom that is no longer neutral?
Protons and Neutrons.
When electron is added to unipositive ion we get?
neutral atom
Is helium an isotope atom or ion?
Helium is a neutral atom that has several isotopes and can become an ion.
What charge is near the hydrogen atom?
The neutral hydrogen atom is neutral; the ion (H+) is positive.
Is a aluminum an isotope ion or neutral atom?
An alumimium atom is electrically neutral and it is an isotope of aluminum.
What is an atom called that does not have a neutral charge?
ION
