Oxygen

Introduction

Number 8 on the Periodic Table, Oxygen (O) has eight protons in the nucleus and is pale blue in its liquid and solid states. A non-metal element, Oxygen is colourless gas at room temperature, making up 21 percent of Earth’s atmosphere. Oxygen is an essential component for life, consumed during respiration, however, high concentrations cause an enriched environment which can lead to accelerated combustion.

Increased levels of oxygen may dramatically increase the flammability of any combustible matter.

Oxygen depletion: Exposure to atmospheres containing between 10% and 13% oxygen can bring about unconsciousness very rapidly; death comes very quickly if the oxygen level drops below 6% volume.

Oxygen O2 is a gas without colour, taste or smell.
