Jan 9, 2017 · What is the difference between $\ce {O}$ and $\ce {O2}$. If C is carbon and then why $\ce {O2}$ is oxygen.

May 30, 2017 · I just saw something in a chemistry lesson what got me confused. What is the difference between $\\ce{2O}$ and $\\ce{O2}$? Thanks for the help!

Nov 25, 2018 · Likewise $\ce {O2}$ is as much oxygen as atomic oxygen is. The only complication is that what we habitually think of as oxygen is oxygen as a gas comprised of $\ce {O2}$ molecules. …

Jul 18, 2014 · This phenomenon is explained by s-p mixing. All the elements in the second period before oxygen have the difference in energy between the 2s and 2p orbital small enough, so that s-p mixing …

Apr 13, 2025 · The enthalpy of formation of O2 is zero at any particular temperature. The element is already in its ''standard state'' . Also please note that as per IUPAC, there is no standard …

May 3, 2016 · Paramagnetic molecules are molecules that have single electrons. When I draw the lewis structure of $\\ce{O2}$, it appears to be a diamagnetic structure. What makes it paramagnetic?

Dec 11, 2021 · In the typical way these terms are used, the LUMO can't be the same as the HOMO. Since each of the pi spatial orbitals already have one electron, they are not unoccupied, so they can't …

And finally there is $\ce {O#O}$ where both oxygens are positively charged and are free radicals. Why are both positively charged? It is because 3 bonds already to oxygen means 1 lone pair and 5 …

Apr 17, 2024 · There is a good reason for not being able to find the mid-IR absorption spectra of nitrogen and oxygen. Their vibrations are infrared inactive. Infrared absorption peaks are observed …

In Earth's atmosphere, the NO formed by lightning, reacts with O2 to form NO2, which then forms HNO3. So in our environment, no NO does not return to N2 and O2, because it reacts with more O2 …
