Question

Explain the difference of O2 and 2O.

Answer 1

Answer:

O2 is a molecule consisting of 2 atoms of oxygen. 2O denotes two seperate oxygen atoms. O2 is a molecule and thus it is stable. 2O, whichconsists of 2 different atoms and thus these 2 atoms are ready to combine with any other element like hydrogen.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Question:-

Difference between O2 and 2O.

Answer:-

Definition of O2 :-

O2 is the chemical equation of "A molecule of oxygen". This equation is actually the abbreviation of oxygen which is used anywhere in science to particularly show that oxygen is present here ( if we see O2 anywhere).

However,there comes a question that why does it contains two atoms of oxygen instead of one ?

It contains two atoms of oxygen because oxygen itself is a highly reactive gas and if it is left alone it will react with other gases to become more than one atom. That's why two atoms of oxygen is useee to let the oxygen be pure and to not let it mix with anything.

Definition of 2O :-

2O is the chemical equation of " Two different molecules of oxygen". The similar we can understand from example is that if there is only one O then it's meaning will be "An atom of oxygen". If there is 2O,then it means "Two atoms of oxygen".

2O is usually used to define two different and separate molecules of oxygen,that are just sticking togather (not severely mixed with each other). Then,we can conclude that two O2 can make a 2O.

Difference between 2O and O2:-

2O defines two separate molecules of oxygen.

O2 defines a molecule if oxygen that is made up of 2oxygen atoms.
