Oxygen’s chemical symbol is O and it’s
frequently written as O2 and . This is
because the oxygen is not chemically
combined with anything else; it hangs around
with a buddy. Oxygen is been know to be a
diatomic molecule. 8

Oxygen has a mass number of 16.00 with
atomic number 8 which means there are 8
electrons and 8 protons. The number of
neutrons is always equal to the mass
number- the atomic number
Protons: 8
Neutrons: 8
Electrons: 8

Oxygen was discovered for the first time by a
Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele in
1772. Joseph Priestly and English chemist
independently discovered oxygen in 1774
and published his findings three years before
Scheele


It’s a clear liquid and no colour as a gas

Oxygen is a non metal but is a astronomy, all
heavier elements are classed as metals.

It’s in pure or elemental form in the
atmosphere, but it coexists with other gases
asone component of mixture - so,
uncombined oxygen exists in the
atmosphere, but the atmosphere is not pure
oxygen.
There are many compounds of oxygen in
nature - oxides. Water is one of these, but
many others are ores found in the ground in
mines, etc.

In a living thing - oxygen is needed to help
break down glucose(sugar) and release
energy for the living cells of the organism.
the chemical process is called cellular
respiration.
Oxygen is needed for a certain chemical
reactions to occur - a flame can only continue
to burn if oxygen is provided.

Oxygen provides us with 90% of our nutritional energy,
with just 10% coming from the food we eat. The more our
cells are saturated with stabilized oxygen the lower is the
wear and tear that occurs in the body. Hence, oxygen is
one of the most important anti-aging substances.
Oxygen’s natural ability to oxidize or catabolise viruses,
fungi, and bacteria is vitally important in order to sustain
the cells’ natural immortality factor and to prevent
degenerative diseases.
Oxygen is also an essential factor for burning up the
body’s toxins – those that are generated by us internally
as well as those that we get from external sources such as
the environment, water, and food – particularly junk food.
The lower the content of oxygen, the less ability we have
to burn up toxins, to heal, and to fight disease.
