When the oxygen molecule is inhaled it causes a slight explosion which forces the air into your lungs and then up through your veins which gives you better blood flow to your brain. Sometimes rare genetic disorders cause these molecules to be deistroyed so they're not able to explode and usually the blood flow is a lot worse in the people that have this disorder. This can be fixed with a simple medication that is taken daily.

What molecule could not have been present in an early earth atmosphere and why?
Ozone (O3) could not have been present in an early Earth atmosphere because it is a product of oxygen reacting with ultraviolet radiation. Early Earth's atmosphere lacked the high levels of oxygen needed for ozone formation.
What is oxidized blood?
Oxidized blood refers to blood that has been exposed to oxygen and has changed color from a bright red to a darker, brownish-red color. This typically happens when blood is outside of the body and begins to lose its oxygen content.
What happens to the carbon in natural gas when the gas burns in a badly fitted gas fire?
if a gas fire has been incorrectly fitted and cannot draw enough oxygen from the area it is heating. Carbonmonoxide is produced which is colorless and odourless gas and is hazardous for animals . if it is breathed,it stops the circulation of blood. The person who breathed carbonmonoxide would die eventually.
How can nitrogen be dangerous?
Nitrogen can be dangerous when it displaces oxygen in an enclosed space, leading to a lack of oxygen for breathing. This can cause asphyxiation, especially in confined areas like tanks or poorly ventilated spaces. Liquid nitrogen can also cause frostbite if it comes into contact with skin.
Is liquid oxygen same as regular oxygen?
Liquid oxygen is the same element as regular oxygen, they both consist of oxygen atoms. The difference lies in their physical state - liquid oxygen is oxygen that has been cooled to very low temperatures, around -183 degrees Celsius, causing it to change from a gas to a liquid state. Liquid oxygen is used primarily for industrial and medical applications where high concentrations of oxygen are needed in a compact form.
Oxygen that has been breathed in is delivered to the cells by the a.diaphragm. b.red blood cells. c.air sacs d.bronchial tubes?
red blood cells
What is exhaled air?
Air that's been in your lungs and gotten breathed out.
Is it true that every breath of air contains at least 1 atom that every human ever born has breathed?
Yes. There are 6.02 x 10e23 molecules in a mole. 2 atoms of oxygen in a molecule of oxygen. Nitrogen molecule also 2 atoms. A mole of gas is ~22.4 liters. A normal resting breath of air for an adult is ~500mL Roughly 99% of air is either oxygen molecules or nitrogen molecules. [(0.5 liters/breath) divided by (22.4 liters/mole)] times (6.02 x 10e23) equals ~ 1,340,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules in every breath Given that O2 and N2 have 2 atoms/molecule, there would be twice as many atoms ~2,700,000,000,000,000,000,000/breath you'd probably have millions, if not billions of atoms that had been breathed by any person who'd ever lived.
Why is air breathed out rich in carbon dioxide than air breathed in?
When we breathe in air, we take in oxygen to be used in cellular respiration. During this process, the body produces carbon dioxide as a waste product. When we breathe out, the exhaled air contains a higher concentration of carbon dioxide because it is being expelled from our body after the oxygen has been used up.
What happens when triatomic nitrogen comes into contact with oxygen?
I am not a professional but I believe this is what happens. Assuming there is enough thermal energy to promote the reaction, the triatomic nitrogen will trade one of its nitrogen atoms for an oxygen molecule, creating N2O, nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas. The now free nitrogen atom will form a diatomic nitrogen molecule at its first opportunity. 2N3+O2 -> 2N2O+N2 There has been a theoretical paper (2009) which predicts that the cyclic N3 radical is quite stable to oxygen but will react to form N2 + NO.
A rock containing iron becomes soft and crumbly and reddish-brown in color?
Oxygen! Which has probably come from water (H2O = 2 hydrogens and 1 oxygen) This process is called oxidisation, it is the same thing that happens when you have metal that has gone rusty, it has oxidised. The chemical symbol for iron is Fe, when it oxidises, it steals an oxygen molecule and becomes FeO... Iron Oxide.
When a molecule loses an electron the molecule has been?
When a molecule loses an electron the molecule has been ionized and oxidized.
Is carbon dioxide a molecule or element?
CO2 is both a compound and a molecule. It is a compound because it is made up of carbon and oxygen which have been chemically combined. It is a molecule because carbon dioxide exist as CO2 molecules, with simple molecular structure.
Is it possible to go to a remote area and breathe the air that has never been breathed before?
No, it is not possible to breathe air that has never been breathed before. The air in remote areas may have fewer pollutants or contaminants, but it has still been circulated and breathed by other organisms in the environment.
What does a molecule that has been oxidized have?
Well it has less electrons than it had before. That is the definition of oxidation. The loss of electrons is oxidation. The gain of electrons is reduction.
What does it mean for a water molecule to be polar?
A water molecule is polar because it has a slight negative charge near the oxygen atom and slight positive charges near the hydrogen atoms. This polarity allows water molecules to form hydrogen bonds with each other, resulting in properties like high surface tension and the ability to dissolve many substances.
Which element forms a diatomic molecule?
The diatomic elements are: Hydrogen (H2), Nitrogen (N2), Oxygen (O2), Fluorine (F2), Chlorine (Cl2), Bromine (Br2), Iodine (I2), and probably astatine (At2), although I don't know whether enough astatine has ever been made to be sure!
