How is oxygen gas different from fluorine gas and chlorine gas?

There is no difference between 'gas' and the atmosphere or 'air.' Gas can be chemically homogenous, as purely of one element, or a heterogeneous mixture of many. The atmosphere's air is composed of many gases, but its primary components are nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2).

∙ 13y ago"Air pressure" usually refers to the ambient pressure of the atmosphere around you. "Air pressure" is thus just a special case of "gas pressure". Gas pressure is more commonly measured as the pressure of a gas within a confined space. When the gas is air, it may also be referred to as "air pressure", for example - in tires.

∙ 10y agoOxygen has a different valence than fluorine or chlorine. An oxygen atom forms bonds by taking (or sharing) two electrons, whereas fluorine and chlorine, both halogens, each take or share only a single electron, when forming bonds. As a result of this, oxygen can form more complicated types of bonds, since it can bond to two different atoms at once. Fluorine or chlorine can only bond to one atom at a time. There are many other consequences as well. The chemistry of oxygen is quite different from that of the halogens, even though both are nonmetals which acquire electrons when they bond.

∙ 14y agooxygen is a type of gas and a gas is not a type of anything. plus not all gases let us breathe, only oxygen does. a lot of gases would poison us if we breathed them in.

Write a balanced equation for the reaction of chlorine gas with fluorine gas?
Cl2(g)+F2(g) --> 2ClF(g)
Gas with mass number 19?
The answer is Fluorine!Argon, one of the noble gases.
Which gas is monatomic at room temperature and pressure Nitrogen Neon fluorine or Chlorine?
C. Helium is a monoatomic gas at STP.
What halogen is located in the second period?
Iodine, element number 53 is the halogen (Group 17) element in period 5.
Chlorine gas and oxygen which is heavy?
Anyone knows when installing chlorine gas detector, sensor how height has to be? Thank you in advance, Pedram
Is there a gas other than oxygen that can fuel fire?
Oxygen is not a fuel for fire; it is the oxidizer. You can substitute a different gas for oxygen such as chlorine, fluorine, or dioxygen difluoride. You can also use solid oxidizers such as potassium nitrate or ammonium perchlorate.
Is hydrogen flame able?
Yes. Explosive when mixed with oxygen or fluorine and even chlorine gas. Hydrogen is flammable. It burns in air or oxygen.
What moleclues are in a gas state at room temperature?
All of the noble gases, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and chlorine.
What gas is in the fluorine family?
Fluorine and chlorine are the gases in the fluorine family, at standard temperature and pressure.
What are some elements that are gas?
Examples: hydrogen, helium, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, argon, krypton, radon, xenon, neon, nitrogen.
Are fluorine and chlorine a noble gas or halogen?
halogens
Is sulphur dioxide a CFC?
No, SO2 is an inorganic acid gas made from sulphur and oxygen. A CFC is a chlorofluorocarbon made from fluorine, carbon and chlorine.
What is the only gas in the fluorine family?
There are two gases in fluorine(Halogen) family, which are Fluorine and Chlorine. In some cases bromine can also be included as a gas.
What elements is a gas at room temperature?
Oxygen
What are the three elements that exist as a gas at room temperature and pressure?
Hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, and all the noble gases exist as a gas at standard temperature and pressure.
Are chlorine iodine and fluorine poisonous gas?
yes,they are poisonous.
How is chlorine poisonous?
chlorine is a powerful bonding chemical (Fluorine is the most powerful). Chlorine gas is green and gets in to your lungs and bonds it all up and stops oxygen and causes your lungs to melt. Unpleasant. Common during WWII.
