On the periodic table‚ oxygen is the 8th element. It is located in period 2 and group 16. Oxygen is classified into many things. For example‚ on the periodic table‚ oxygen is classified as a nonmetal gas with an atomic number of 8 and atomic weight of 15.9994. In addition‚ it has 6 valence electrons. The symbol of oxygen is O and oxygen has 8 protons‚ 8 neutrons‚ and 8 electrons. The electron configuration of oxygen is 1s2‚ 2s2‚ 2p4. Oxygen had been produced by several chemists prior to its discovery

DECISIONS SERIES Oxygen Saturation A Guide to Laboratory Assessment BY SHANNON HAYMOND‚ PHD uman life depends on the oxygen transport by hemoglobin. In healthy patients‚ the majority of molecular oxygen (O2) is bound to hemoglobin and only a small fraction is dissolved in blood. But in patients with respiratory problems or certain metabolic and genetic disorders‚ the fraction of oxygenated hemoglobin can fall to dangerously low values. Therefore‚ laboratory assessment of oxygen saturation (SO2)—the

Oxygen – Carbon dioxide Cycle The Carbon Dioxide- Oxygen Cycle relates to the relationship between Carbon Dioxide [CO2] breathing plants and Oxygen [O2] breathing life forms. All oxygen-breathing life forms take in Oxygen and exhale CO2. Plants take in the CO2 and use it in their photosynthesis process and in turn give off oxygen. The Carbon Dioxide-Oxygen Cycle is a continuously occurring process whereby animals inhale Oxygen and then exhale carbon dioxide‚ and plants use the CO2 and "exhale"

REDUCTION Oxygen makes up only about 20% of the air‚ yet is the essential component for so many reactions. Without it fuels would not burn‚ iron would not rust and we would be unable to obtain energy from our food molecules through respiration. Indeed animal life on the planet did not evolve until a certain concentration of oxygen had built up in the atmosphere over 600 million years ago. The term oxidation has been in use for a long time to describe these and other reactions where oxygen is added

Why Oxygen is Important Oxygen plays a vital role in the treatment of patients. Oxygen is the molecule that helps the cells in our body produce ATP through a process known as cellular respiration. Also it is the number one drug of choice for the American heart association. Finally it is a priority according to the universal care protocols in the protocol book given to flight medics in USAAAD at Fort Polk. In short Oxygen is important for the medics to use. To start off with oxygen helps sustain

Tyrian Reed Chemistry 1st Period The History Of Oxygen Oxygen is a chemical element with symbol O and atomic number 8. One of the first known experiments on the relationship between combustion and air was conducted by the 2nd century BCE Greek writer on mechanics‚ Philo of Byzantium. Many centuries later Leonardo da Vinci built on Philo’s work by observing that a portion of air is consumed during combustion and respiration. In the late 17th century‚ Robert Boyle proved that air is necessary

Oxygen cycle From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search The oxygen cycle. The Oxygen cycle is the biogeochemical cycle that describes the movement of oxygen within its three main reservoirs: the atmosphere (air)‚ the total content of biological matter within the biosphere (the global sum of all ecosystems)‚ and the lithosphere (Earth ’s crust). Failures in the oxygen cycle within the hydrosphere (the combined mass of water found on‚ under‚ and over the surface of a planet)

medicinal products such as quinine and eucalyptus. In fact‚ most of the medicines that we use ultimately come to us through trees and vegetation. Trees play an important role in purifying the air around us. They breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen that sustains our life. Thus they make this world a better place to live in. Trees are also very necessary for having good rainfall. The trees attract rain bearing clouds and prevent soil erosion and conserve the earth. Our Government also realised

in the class of propionic acid derivatives. Its melting point is 74 - 77° C. It is a stable white crystalline powder‚ slightly soluble in water and very soluble in ethanol. Its formula is also written (CH3)2CHCH2C6H4CH(CH3)COOH‚ which lays out the chemical structure of ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is a chiral molecule‚ meaning that two mirror-image forms (called enantiomers) are possible. In the diagram‚ the wavy line represents a molecular bond that is bent "upward"

In 2009‚ Google has created PiLab to improve people’s operation. PiLab initiated Project Oxygen to research the impact of managers on employees and methods to enhance management. Google’s problem now is how to implement the research to increase efficiency for management. There are three alternatives which are to study senior management and executives‚ providing guidance to team composition and to study the complete life cycle of managers. The criteria used to evaluate each alternative are whether
