Using only oxygen, molecular oxygen and ozone. If combined with something else, it can be a number of things: * If combined with a metal, it is called an oxide. * If part of a chemical that could be formed without it, it is called a peroxide. * If attached to hydrogen, it can be hydroxide, water, oxonium or hydronium. * If attached to carbon by a single bond, it is an alcohol. * If by two bonds to the same carbon, it is an aldehyde or a ketone. * If by a single bond to two carbon atoms, it is an ether. * Three oxygen bonds to the same carbon are a carboxyl. * If the fourth oxygen bond is with hydrogen, it is a carboxylic acid; if with another carbon, it is an ester; if witha salt, it is a soap. * If in a carbon ring, it can be a sugar. and there are many more chemicals that have further specific names.
What else can I help you with?
Compare and contrast elements and compounds.?
Substances are either elements or compounds. Elements are substances in their simplest form that cannot be separated further through chemical reactions. Examples of elements are oxygen (O2), carbon (C2), and hydrogen (H2). Compounds are compositions of two or more elements. Examples of compounds are water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and sodium chloride - table salt (NaCl).
Normal ranges for dissolved oxygen test?
dissolved oxygen is dissolved oxygen
What is the difference between elements compounds and important mixtures?
Elements are atoms that consist of different protons. They are the simplest thing that defines an atom. The only thing that defines them is the number of protons, electrons and neutrons they have, as all protons, electrons and neutrons are identical. (I think) Compounds are elements joined chemically together. They must be in a set ratio (e.g. water must be 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom) They can only be separated chemically (e.g electrolysis). Mixtures are stuff that contain different substances or materials. They are not bonded together chemically. There is no set ratio, unlike compounds. They can be separated by physical methods. (for example, salt in water is a mixture. They can be separated by distillation.)
Why can physical methods be used to separate mixtures but not compounds?
compounds are bonded at a molecular level. they would hve to be releived of that bond before physical separaion can occur.
What are two was in which mixtures differ from compounds?
A compound comprises the same proportion of its components, a mixture can be made up of varying amounts.A compound may have physical and chemical properties which are quite different to those of any of its components. A mixture retains many of the physical and chemical properties of its main ingredient.
Is magnesium and oxygen elements compounds or mixtures?
magnesium and oxygen are elements. They are not compounds
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.
Are water vinegar and oxygen compounds?
Water and vinegar are both compounds, oxygen is an element.
What is a form of oxygen that is created when nitrogen oxides and organic compounds in the air react with each other?
Ozone
What is the oxidation number for oxygen in most compounds?
The oxidation number for oxygen in most compounds is -2.
Organic compounds are compounds that always contain?
OxygeN
Are Antioxidants compounds that sacrifice themselves to oxygen thus preventing oxygen from reacting with other compounds?
true
Why Oxygen and chlorine are not ionic compounds?
Oxygen and chlorine are each elements, not compounds. They combined to form a number of covalent compounds because they are both nonmetals.
What compounds do nonmetals form when they burn in oxygen?
Nonmetals burning in oxygen form covalent type compounds, as compared to metals which form ionic compounds.
Why the compounds of fluorine with oxygen are called fluorides of oxygen and not oxides of fluorine?
As fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen, fluorine acts as the electron acceptor in the compounds with oxygen. As fluorine becomes partially negative charged and positive for oxygen, they are called fluorides.
What are some compounds of oxygen?
Water, quartz, rust, and sugar are all common, important compounds containing oxygen.
Does oxygen naturally form compounds?
yes. If the metal is reactive enough then oxygen naturally forms compounds.(oxides)
