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!

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 …

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 …

Apr 29, 2017 · Methane $\\ce{CH4}$ is symmetrical and non polar, and so is oxygen $\\ce{O2}$. But $\\ce{O2}$ doesn't absorb IR. Why is that? People say that if a molecule can change its …

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 …

Feb 16, 2018 · -2 Oxygen (O2) generally exists as diradicals i.e. each oxygen bonded to each other through single bonds and the remaining two electrons remains on each oxygen atoms as …

$\ce {O2 + 2e^- -> HOOH}$ 2) From the above we can deduce that water is the product; water is pretty stable in either acidic or basic medium - i.e. it won't react to a large extent with either …

Apr 24, 2015 · Background $\ce {O2}$ exists as a paramagnetic, triplet since the two electrons in its two (degenerate) HOMO orbitals are unpaired. There are 6 known phases of solid oxygen …

Feb 28, 2016 · TL;DR: The $\ce {O-O}$ and $\ce {S-S}$ bonds, such as those in $\ce {O2^2-}$ and $\ce {S2^2-}$, are derived from $\sigma$-type overlap. However, because the $\pi$ and …
