What is in oxygen on earth?
Oxygen combines easily with many other elements and compounds
In liquid water does the hydrogen atoms slide past the oxygen atoms easily?
No, because the hydrogen atoms are slightly positive and the oxygen is slightly negative they are attracted to each other by something called hydrogen bonds. It actually gives the water a sticky quality called cohesion.
Are oxygen atoms different to oxygen atoms?
No, oxygen atoms are all the same. Each oxygen atom has 8 protons in its nucleus and is chemically identical to every other oxygen atom.
Does calcium combine with other elements easily?
It combines with Oxygen the most.
What element combines easy with other elements?
water,oxygen and aluminum.
When nitrous oxide is converted to nitrogen and oxygen what is the term used to describe the oxygen atoms formed?
nascent oxygen molecular oxygen product
During photosynthesis water molecules are split into atoms of oxygen and what?
Since water is comprised of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, when it is split into atoms by plants during photosynthesis the only other atoms other than oxygen that are produced are hydrogen atoms.
How is oxygen in the ozone layer different from other layers in atmosphere?
Ozone is triatomic oxygen. (It has three oxygen atoms). 'Normal' oxygen is diatomic. (It has two oxygen atoms)
What is the Oxygen function?
Oxygen is an element. It exists without need of having a function. Oxygen does do many different things. It provides energy to the cellular system. It combines with hydrogen to form water. It combines with carbon to form carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. It combines with itself to form a 3-oxygen molecule called ozone that helps make smog when in the lower atmosphere and helps shield the surface from ultraviolet radiation when in the upper atmosphere. It combines with many other elements to form a wide variety of compounds that have very different properties.
How many atoms of hydrogen does oxygen have?
none - it's a pure gas, just oxygen none - it's a pure gas, just oxygen
How many covalent bonds can oxygen make with other atoms?
Oxygen can form two covalent bonds with other atoms. This is due to its electronic configuration, which allows it to share two pairs of electrons with other atoms.
Where do oxygen atoms in water originate?
As with all atoms heavier than helium, oxygen originated in the thermonuclear furnaces of stars. Oxygen is highly reactive and readily combines with other elements. Since the most abundant element in the universe is hydrogen, it combined with hydrogen to form water, which became ice in the cold of space. That ice was delivered to Earth in comets and ice deposits on asteroids.
