There are many compounds that contain oxygen, ranging from very simple to very complex. Water is one simple compound that contains oxygen, as well as carbon dioxide, magnesium oxide, and formaldehyde. A more complex example is sucrose, also called table sugar.

What are some compounds of oxygen?

Water, quartz, rust, and sugar are all common, important compounds containing oxygen.


Can oxygen be liberated from all oxygen containing compounds?

No, oxygen cannot be liberated from all oxygen-containing compounds. Some compounds contain oxygen in a very stable form, such as in water (H2O), where the oxygen is tightly bound to hydrogen. Releasing oxygen from these compounds would require significant energy input.


What are some compounds with oxygen?

Why can you not use oxygen in compounds to breathe?

Our metabolisms take advantage of a reaction between oxygen gas and compounds such as glucose to release energy. Oxygen compounds do not contain the same energy and do not react in quite the same way with other substances, so we cannot use them. Most substances that are as reactive as oxygen are toxic, but we have adapted specifically to be able to use oxygen.
