Oxygen is very electronegative, meaning it has a strong pull on electrons.

It easily bond with less electronegative elements to form ionic bond an polar covalent bond. In these polar bonds the oxygen pulls the electrons closer to it than does the element it's bonded with.

What are the strong oxidizer element?

Strong oxidizing elements include fluorine, chlorine, and oxygen. These elements have a high affinity for electrons and can readily accept them from other elements, causing oxidation reactions to occur. They are often used in industrial processes and rocket propellants.


Is oxygen class 3 or class 4 oxIDIZER?

How can a rocket burn its fuel in space?

Rockets carry their own oxidizer to burn their fuel in space, as there is no oxygen available in space for combustion. The fuel and oxidizer react together in the rocket engine to produce thrust, allowing the rocket to move forward. This allows rockets to function in the vacuum of space where there is no atmospheric oxygen.


What is the role of an oxidizer in a solid fuel system?

A solid rocket engine uses a fuel and an oxidizer. The oxidizer when burned delivers oxygen to the fuel so that it can burn. Most rockets use oxidizers because when the rocket burns it uses so much oxygen that they need a readily available supply.
