Molecular oxygen (O2), although essential for life, must be counted among the environmental toxins and mutagens. Because of its unusual electronic structure, O2 is most easily reduced not by electron pairs but rather by single electrons added one at a time

Does oxygen have a greater mass than chlorine?
Atomic oxygen does not have a greater atomic mass than chlorine, nor does molecular oxygen. The atomic mass of chlorine is approximately 35 g/mol, while molecular (O2) oxygen has a molecular mass of 32 g/mol.
What is the molecular formula of 'normal' oxygen?
o2.
Molecule of oxygen?
The element oxygen has two molecular forms: O2 for 'plain' oxygen gas and O3 for ozone
Do Chlorine and Oxygen form an ionic compound?
No. There are several compounds of chlorine and oxygen, but all of them are molecular.
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.
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
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).
Is oxygen Diflouride a Ionic Molecular or Acid Compound?
Ionic Molecular
Is the molecular model of water the same molecular model as oxygen?
no. they are different
What raw material is responsible for the release of molecular oxygen in photosynthesis?
Water (H2O) is the source of the molecular oxygen.
What planet besides Mars has no oxygen?
Venus has no molecular oxygen.
Oxygen can be described as a molecular element Sucrose can be described as a molecular compound Explain why these descriptions are appropriate?
Since Oxygen exists in combined state in nature, it is termed as a molecular element and Sucrose is a molecule of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen with no charge on it, hence it is considered a molecular compound.
