How many molecules are in one atom of oxygen?

Answer 1

Oxygen is, itself, an element of the Periodic Table. Therefore, there would only be one atom in a molecule of oxygen. However, at room temperature the gaseous atoms of oxygen are highly reactive with one another, as well as with atoms of other elements. Most oxygen atoms at room temperature will tend to bond together in groups of two, forming dioxygen (O2), the form of oxygen that we breathe.

Answer 2

There are no molecules in one atom of oxygen. An atom is the basic unit of an element, while a molecule is composed of two or more atoms chemically bonded together. In the case of oxygen, the molecule O2 consists of two oxygen atoms bonded together.

Answer 3

There are two different types of Oxygen molecule O2 and O3 (also called Ozone). O2 has two atoms of Oxygen and O3 has 3 atoms of Oxygen.

Answer 4

1 atom of oxygen equals 1/2 molecule of oxygen, since the oxygen molecules in their standard state consists of two oxygen-atoms, O2.
