Because oxygen takes up much less space for the same amount of oxygen as a liquid rather than a gas.

Why is oxygen transported into space as a liquid?

Oxygen can be transported into space as a liquid because it occupies less volume when in liquid form compared to gas form. This makes it more efficient for storage and transportation in spacecraft. Liquid oxygen is also easier to handle and can be used as a propellant for rocket engines.

What is oxygen's texture is a solid or liquid?

Oxygen is a gas at room temperature and pressure, so it does not have a solid or liquid texture. In its solid form, oxygen is a pale blue crystalline solid called dry ice or solid oxygen. In its liquid form, oxygen is a pale blue liquid.

Probably not due to the extreme cold required to make oxygen liquid.


Does oxygen boil only in liquid state?

Yes, oxygen boils at a temperature of -183 degrees Celsius, which is when it transitions from a liquid to a gas state. Oxygen does not have a boiling point in its gaseous form.


Is oxygen soild liquid or gas?

All substances have a liquid form, but may not be present in nature. Under extreme pressure and temperature circumstances, liquid oxygen can be created, in fact, it is used to fuel space rockets.


Why is it that oxygen is always in the form of gas?

Oxygen is not always in the form of a gas. It can be found in liquid form as a component of the compound called water. It can be found in solid form as a component of rust (iron oxide) and many other compounds.Free oxygen is found as a gas on the planet earth because the temperate of the planet's surface and atmosphere are well above the boiling point of molecular oxygen, which is -297 F or -183 C. We use oxygen in liquid form as part of the fuel of some rockets. Then we have to work very hard to condense it out of the air.
