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 …

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 molecular orbital (MO) diagram for the O2 O 2 diatomic, the 2π∗g 2 π g ∗ contains two unpaired electrons. This is certainly the HOMO, as it is the highest molecular orbital with electrons.

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 …

Dec 10, 2022 · 0 Thermal energy is released from the reaction $\ce {2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O}$. Before the reaction takes place the system of $\ce {H2}$ and $\ce {O2}$ molecules are in a metastable state: …

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 …

Jan 6, 2025 · Why is oxygen concentration in flue gases (biomass combustion, recovery boilers) reported in two forms: dry flue gases and wet flue gases? This raises several questions for me: Are …
