Since both form diatomic elements, we simply have to compare molecular masses. O2 has a mass 32.0 g/mol, while N2 is 28.0 g/mol. This means that, since gases (according to the ideal gas law) all contain 22.4 mol/L, then the same volume of oxygen would be heavier than the same volume of nitrogen.

Nitrogen monoxide and oxygen are called?
Nitrogen monoxide gas and oxygen gas
Which gas condenses faster argon or oxygen or nitrogen?
which gas condensed more faster nitrogen,argon and oxygen
Why is hydrogen gas not found naturally in the air?
Hydrogen gas would react with oxgyen and release energy. The lighter hydrogen gas would float to the top of the atmosphere; above the heavier nitrogen and oxygen.
Is oxygen free nitrogen pressure affected by temperature?
Assuming you are talking about oxygen gas and nitrogen gas the answer is yes. Each and every gas is affected by temperature.
How does nitrogen dilute oxygen?
nitrogen is used in dilution of activity of which gas
Is nitrogen heavier than oxygen?
it is heavier
What gas is heavier hydrogen or oxygen?
oxygen gas is heavier than hydrogen gas
Carbon dioxide gas is heavier than both nitrogen and oxygen. Why does it not form the lower layer in the atmosphere?

What is heavier nitrogen or helium?
Nitrogen is the heavier gas (mass of 28) compared to helium (mass of 4).
Which is more heavier - hydrogen gas or oxygen gas?
Mass of Hydrogen gas:- 2g/mol Mass of Oxygen gas :- 32g/mol Therefore, Oxygen gas is more heavier
Is ammonia vapor heavier than nitrogen?
Nitrogen gas has a higher density.
Does the atmosphere have more nitrogen or oxygen in it?
Nitrogen is more in the atmosphere. Around 78% of the atmosphere is nitrogen gas and 21% is oxygen gas.
What makes the balloon rises?
Helium gas in the balloon causes it to rise as it is much less dense than the surrounding air which has heavier molecules such as Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, etc.
Which gas condenses faster argon or oxygen or nitrogen?
which gas condensed more faster nitrogen,argon and oxygen
What is the most abundant gas in our atmosphere oxygen hydrogen nitrogen water?
It is nitrogen, followed by oxygen.
Why is hydrogen gas not found naturally in the air?
Hydrogen gas would react with oxgyen and release energy. The lighter hydrogen gas would float to the top of the atmosphere; above the heavier nitrogen and oxygen.
