Lesson: Chapter 7 — Quantification of Elements and Compounds

7.2. Relative molecular mass 1 of 10

Question 1

In what form does oxygen occur naturally?

The right answer is the one marked above.

O2. Most elements are reactive, so their atoms do not exist free; two or several of them join to form molecules.

It is not stable as free O atoms. This same distinction is why a mole of oxygen atoms is 16 g while a mole of oxygen molecules is 32 g.
