Oxygen gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. The liquid and solid forms are a pale blue color and are strongly paramagnetic. Oxygen supports combustion, combines with most elements, and is a component of hundreds of billions of organic compounds. Ozone (O3), a highly active compound with a name derived from the Greek word for 'I smell', is formed by the action of an electrical discharge or ultraviolet light on oxygen.

∙ 15y agoOxygen can exist in a number of physical forms. Most commonly it is found as a diatomic O-O gas and is called molecular oxygen (O2) or dioxygen. The gas exists as a triplet state but the singlet oxygen can also be formed and is more reactive. This gas can be liquefied at low temperatures to produce a blue liquid oxygen (LOX) and cooled further produces a blue solid. After electrical discharge or photolysis Oxygen may also form the triatomic ozone (O3) and under very extreme conditions atomic oxygen (O•) is produced.

∙ 12y agoOxygen (or dioxygen) has the following physical properties:
- Oxygen is colorless, odorless and a tasteless diatomic gas under normal conditions.
- Oxygen is slightly heavier than air. Its density relative to air is 1.1053.
- Oxygen is sparingly soluble in water. 30 mL of oxygen in one liter of water at STP. This small amount of dissolved dioxygen is sufficient to sustain marine and aquatic life and for the destruction of organic wastes in water bodies.
- Oxygen boils at -183 °C (90 K) and solidifies at -218 °C (55 K).
- Oxygen is paramagnetic in nature and liquefies to give pale blue liquid.
- Metals such as silver, gold and platinum adsorb oxygen gas at 500 °C. Molten silver absorbs ten times its mass of oxygen and expels it rapidly on cooling. This phenomenon is called the spitting of silver.

What are the physical properties of chalcogens?
The chalcogens are oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium. They don't have much in common as far as physical properties are concerned... for example, oxygen is a gas at room temperature, and the others are all solids.

10 physical property of oxygen please it's for my science project?
The physical properties of oxygen include odorless, non-toxic and non-reactive.
Do oxygen nitrogen carbon boron have similar physical and chemical properties?
YES
Why does water not have the same physical and chemical property then hydrogen and oxygen?
Because molecules have other chemical and physical properties than the containing atoms !
How do you think the physical properties of carbon hydrogen and oxygen change when they combined to form sugar?
The physical properties are unchanged: the same melting or boiling point, resistivity,density etc.But these atoms are now bonded together.
