Question

Explain the anomalous behavior shown by oxygen​

Answer 1

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀$\large\fbox\red{Answer}$

Oxygen being small in size, highly electronegative, and non-availability of valence electrons in d orbital oxygen shows anomalous behavior. Oxygen is diatomic whereas others are polyatomic. Oxygen is a gas while others are solid. Oxygen is paramagnetic while others are diamagnetic.
