No. Oxygen is an element that typically comes in the form of O2. Air is a mixture of gasses and Oxygen is just one of them. Air is about 21% oxygen and 78% nitrogen with another 1% being a variety of other gasses.
argon -------------------------------------------- Any of the elements in column 18 of the Periodic Table, plus gasses made form some compounds (eg CO2) and some nonreactive gases such as Nitrogen could be considered as inert.
Hydrogen (burns with no carbon footprint) Helium (inert gas to prevent flammability) Nitrogen (inert gas to prevent flammability) is 79% of air. Oxygen is 20% of air. Methane (a plentiful fuel) Ethane (a fuel) Propane (a fuel) fart [come s in then comes out]
The atmosphere is composed of nitrogen, oxygen,argon, carbon dioxide, and other gases
No gasses is what pollutes the air
78% of the air we breathe is nitrogen. 21% is oxygen, and the other 1% is a mix of other gasses.

In the air around us there is 78% nitrogen 21% oxygen 1% other gasses
Electric bulbs do have the inert gasses inside and not oxygen to avoid explosions.
A colorless element that is one of the six inert gasses; occurs in trace amounts in air
Air is a mixture of several gasses... 78% Nitrogen. 21% Oxygen. The final 1% is a mix of other gases including the "Inert Gases", and about 0.04% Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Air also carries dust, pollen, and can carry viruses and bacteria.
Nitrogen occurs naturally in our atmoshere. It is 78 percent of the air around us. To separate it from the oxygen and other inert gasses manufactures heat pressurized air. As it heats, the oxygen and other gases which are more suceptable to heat, boil off leaving the nitrogen behind.
The answer is simple: because it is the cheaper. Argon naturally makes up 0.9% of our atmosphere, while other inert gasses such as Neon, Helium, or Xenon only make up the remaining 0.1% of the atmosphere. Therefore, nine times more argon can be extracted per gallon of air than other inert gasses, which dramatically reduces the price to $0.23 per cubic meter. Neon, on the other hand, costs approximately $2,222 per cubic meter. And since light bulbs are consumables, price is everything to both the customer and the manufacturer.
An area without air or other gasses is called a vacuum.
about 78% of air is nitrogen 21% oxygen, and 1% other gasses e.g. carbon monoxide, water vapour etc.
There is no air in space. If you mean what is the atmosphere in the Space Station, it is essentially an ordinary Earth air mixture of nitrogen and oxygen.
Air contains all of these gasses as a mixture. Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound (molecule) Carbon (C) and Oxygen (O2)
