Oxygen is a gas at normal conditions. Scientists report that oxygen is the most common element in the earths crust. The earths crust is composed of solids and liquids. Explain this apparent contradi?

If you talk about elements, then oxygen is O, and O is found in many, many COMPOUNDS. So, if a compound is found in the crust, and if it contains oxygen (like water, H2O), then the element oxygen will be counted. It doesn't have to be in a gaseous form. In addition, O2 gas can also be found dissolved in some liquids.
