Properties+and+Uses+of+Oxygen

The properties of oxygen is that oxygen is a nonmetal, and it doesn't have any colors. It has a cubic atomic structure, it has a shape of gas, and it's density is 1.429 g/L. Oxygen melts at 54.36 K (-218.79 °C, -361.82 °F), it boils at 90.20 K (-182.95 °C, -297.31 °F), and it's atomic radious is 60 pm. The Atom of oxygen has a total mass of 15.9994 AMU, and it's atomic number is 8, and the chemical symbol of oxygen is O.

Oxygen looks like the picture above when it compounds with hydrogens.

Oxygen is one of the most important elements on Earth. It has a gas when it's in the atmosphere, but it's a water molecule when it's under water.
