Is oxygen part of the atmosphere?
Yes, molecular oxygen makes up about 20% of the atmosphere at sea level.
Why is Earth the only planet with oxygen and how is that no other planet does?
Other planets do have oxygen, but not in as high of concentration as we have here on Earth.
Why is there oxygen on the earth and not on the planets?
Originally the earth had only a small amount of oxygen and abundant carbon dioxide. Primordial green algae first evolved to take advantage of this carbon dioxide and produced the oxygen as a by product. Over billions and billions of years, and as additional plant species evolved, the atmosphere was transformed into the oxygen rich environment we have today.
What planet has plenty of oxygen?
Earth has oxygen. But I don't know why you have to call it "free oxygen". It's not really "for free". People have to plant trees in order to receive oxygen. They are the ones that are supposed to be responsible for their lives. Earth supports the humans by giving them a place to plant, that's why it is the only "living planet".
What planets do not have oxygen?
Only Earth has any significant amount of oxygen in its atmosphere.
What is the usual state of oxygen?
Oxygen is usually found in its Gaseous state in molecular form (O2).
What makes molecular oxygen in our atmosphere?
Cyanobacteria make molecular oxygen in our atmosphere.
On earth oxygen usually exist as what?
a gas
What two elements make up the majority of earths atmosphere?
Molecular oxygen is a bit over a fifth of the Earth's atmosphere, and molecular nitrogen is a bit under four-fifths of the Earth's atmosphere. There are also small amounts of oxygen and nitrogen in other atmospheric components such as carbon dioxide and ammonia.
Is atomic oxygen as molecular compound?
oxygen is an element not a molecular compound as a molecular compounds are chemically combined and are of more then one element.
Where does oxygen come from in oxidative phosphorylation?
when you breathe in, you breathe in oxygen which is then transported to your cells and they use it to and food to respirate.
What is the molecular formula for oxegyn?
The molecular formula for Oxygen is O2
Are sulfur and oxygen together an ionic or molecular compound?
Molecular
How do you convert nascent oxygen into molecular oxygen?
I do not have a clue
In what the state of matter is oxygen?
Oxygen can be a solid, liquid, or gas, depending on the temperature and pressure and on what other elements it is bound to in a chemical compound. Free molecular oxygen, as found in the Earth's atmosphere, is a gas. Oxygen bound with hydrogen in the Earth's oceans is a liquid. Oxygen bound with iron in iron oxide (rust) is a solid.
What is the difference between atomic oxygen and molecular oxygen?
Atomic oxygen is many oxygen atoms (O). Molecular oxygen is lots of oxygen molecules which are each made of two oxygen atoms bonded together (O2).
