Oxygen cannot melt in the traditional sense because it is already in a gaseous state at room temperature and pressure. However, oxygen can be liquefied at very low temperatures of around -183 degrees Celsius. This process involves compressing and cooling the gas to condense it into a liquid state. Oxygen does not have a specific melting point like solids do, but it can undergo a phase change from gas to liquid under the right conditions.
Under a pressure of 1 atm, solid oxygen will sublime when heated. This is because the triple point of oxygen is at a pressure lower than 1 atm, so heating solid oxygen at 1 atm will cause it to bypass the liquid phase and transition directly to a gas.
it will melt
A diamond will start to decompose at around 1700°C in the presence of oxygen. However, diamonds do not melt in the conventional sense due to their strong covalent bonds but rather sublimate directly from solid to gas at temperatures above 3550°C in a vacuum.
Felsic igneous compositions will have the highest viscosity when they melt.
Yes, they always melt. They absorb thermal energy (as in heat) which will cause it to heat up and melt little by little. I'm not sure this is true. Large icebergs usually break up before they melt, so, technically, they don't melt. It's the smaller ice bergs that melt. The "large icebergs" cease to exist at the point when they break up, so they don't last long enough to melt. Also, some large icebergs end up fusing back into the glacier they calved from. These icebergs cease to exist at that point, before they ever had a chance to melt. One way or another, every iceberg will, eventually, cease to exist. But it's not always by melting.
yes
Under 1 ATM of pressure, oxygen will not sublime or melt. Instead, it will remain in its gaseous state. Sublimation occurs when a substance transitions directly from a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid phase, which does not happen at 1 ATM for oxygen.

Cyanide does not melt iron, as cyanide is a chemical that is typically used in liquid or gas form to interfere with the body's ability to use oxygen. It is not a substance that has the ability to melt iron.
The melting point of oxygen is -361.8 degrees F (-218.8 degrees C). The boiling point of oxygen is -297.31 degrees F (-182.95 degrees C).
Industrial uses : As a source of fuel to melt metals, Cosmetics, Hospitals
You can't melt paper. Heating paper will simply result in it burning. Heating it in the absense of oxygen will cause it to chemically break down into carbon and water.
Since oxygen is found as a gas here on Earth, it would have to be extremely cold for it to change into a liquid form. So in all but a very rare case, no.
hydrogen is a gas consequently doesn't have a melting point. You can't melt oxygen can you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually oxygen can freeze and melt: its melting point is -361.8°F (-218.8°C). Even hydrogen can freeze and melt: its melting point is -434.49 °F(−259.16°C) These are very cold temperatures!
Oxygen is a gas and does not have a melting point. Instead, oxygen transitions directly from a solid to a gas at a temperature of -218.4 degrees Celsius.
I am a chemist at the university of south carolina and i have been experimenting on the melting point of oxygen. Oxygen at its melting point acts very stable . it dosnt act uncontrolable.
Snow does not burn (combine rapidly with oxygen) because it is a very stable molecule. It will melt or sublimate, but not burn.
