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!

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?

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 …

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. …

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 gaseous water: $$\ce …

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, although …

Feb 16, 2018 · Why are diatomic oxygen molecules STILL reactive especially with metallic elements like sodium and copper even at room temperature? You would think that since the two oxygen atoms …

Jan 26, 2024 · The boiling point of oxygen is higher than that of nitrogen because of the LD (London dispersion) forces. Oxygen has 12 electrons, and nitrogen has 10, and additionally, lots of oxygen's …

Jun 27, 2016 · Paramagnetism is a consequence of having one or more un-paired electrons in the outer electronic configuration. e.g. O2, and NO. Most phys. chem. or inorganic chemistry textbooks will …
