Study Notes

Oxygen Composition

  • Oxygen makes up approximately 21% of the Earth's atmosphere.

Oxygen Cycle

  • The oxygen cycle involves the movement of oxygen between the atmosphere, oceans, land, and living organisms.

Forms of Oxygen

  • Oxygen is found in various forms, including molecular oxygen (O2), ozone (O3), and oxygen atoms.
  • Plasma is NOT a form in which oxygen is found.

Oxygen Consumption

  • Oxygen is used up in various biological processes, including:
    • Respiration in living organisms
    • Decomposition of organic matter
    • Combustion of fossil fuels

Reactivity of Oxygen

  • Oxygen is highly reactive, readily forming compounds with other elements.
  • Its high reactivity is due to its high electronegativity, which allows it to attract electrons from other atoms.
