How is oxygen gas different from fluorine gas and chlorine gas?

Answer 1

There is no difference between 'gas' and the atmosphere or 'air.' Gas can be chemically homogenous, as purely of one element, or a heterogeneous mixture of many. The atmosphere's air is composed of many gases, but its primary components are nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2).

Answer 2

"Air pressure" usually refers to the ambient pressure of the atmosphere around you. "Air pressure" is thus just a special case of "gas pressure". Gas pressure is more commonly measured as the pressure of a gas within a confined space. When the gas is air, it may also be referred to as "air pressure", for example - in tires.

Answer 3

Oxygen has a different valence than fluorine or chlorine. An oxygen atom forms bonds by taking (or sharing) two electrons, whereas fluorine and chlorine, both halogens, each take or share only a single electron, when forming bonds. As a result of this, oxygen can form more complicated types of bonds, since it can bond to two different atoms at once. Fluorine or chlorine can only bond to one atom at a time. There are many other consequences as well. The chemistry of oxygen is quite different from that of the halogens, even though both are nonmetals which acquire electrons when they bond.

Answer 4

Oxygen gas is less reactive than fluorine gas and chlorine gas. Fluorine gas is the most reactive and electronegative of the three elements, while chlorine gas is less reactive than fluorine but more so than oxygen. Additionally, fluorine and chlorine gases are toxic in nature.

Answer 5

A gas is a pure substance, such as carbon dioxide that has enough energy present for its state to change. An aerosol is a mixture, which is a colloidal suspension of particles in a gas.

Answer 6

oxygen is a type of gas and a gas is not a type of anything. plus not all gases let us breathe, only oxygen does. a lot of gases would poison us if we breathed them in.
