  1. What is the difference between O & O2 - Chemistry Stack Exchange

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

  2. Whats the difference between 2O and O2 [duplicate]

    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!

  3. orbitals - What is the origin of the differences between the MO …

    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 …

  4. Why do we call O2 oxygen? - Chemistry Stack Exchange

    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 …

  5. Why is oxygen more stable than oxygen dication?

    Feb 19, 2021 · So why is molecular oxygen $\ce {O2}$ more stable than the molecular ion $\ce {O2^2+}?$ One possible reason that comes to mind is that the antibonding (AB) orbitals, …

  6. Why is oxygen paramagnetic? - Chemistry Stack Exchange

    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 …

  7. Why does ozone, being heavier than air, not settle down?

    Jan 9, 2016 · While gravity does cause some separation of atmospheric constituents at high altitudes, the reason why ozone doesn't migrate to the ground has more to do with its …

  8. physical chemistry - Rate law for breakdown of ozone to oxygen ...

    Jul 31, 2019 · This means that the order of reaction for oxygen gas $\ce {O2}$ is $ (-1)$ that the doubling of the concentration of $\ce {O2}$ leads to a reduction in the rate of the reaction by half.

  9. Reaction energy of oxygen and hydrogen - Chemistry Stack …

    Jan 20, 2019 · From the bonding energy of following bonds that I found in a Wikipedia article, I calculated the reaction energy that would be released when oxygen and hydrogen are reacted …

  10. Enthalpy of the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen

    In this case, the enthalpy of $484\ \mathrm {kJ}$ is released when $2\ \mathrm {mol}$ of hydrogen gas react with $1\ \mathrm {mol}$ of oxygen gas to form $2\ \mathrm {mol}$ of …
