In the atmosphere, it is more common to find two oxygen molecules joined together than to find a single atom of oxygen. Why? What would that molecule look like? What would this molecule be called?

See explanation

Explanation:

Oxygen has six electrons in its outermost shell. This means that its octet can be completed when it shares two electrons with another oxygen atom.

In a covalent bond, each bonding atom contributes one electron to the bond. This means that four electrons are shared between two oxygen atoms. Each atom contributes a total of two electrons which are shared. This molecule of oxygen satisfies the octet rule rather than a single atom of oxygen.

An image of the oxygen molecule is attached to this answer.

This system of two oxygen atoms joined together in a covalent bond is called an oxygen molecule(O2).

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
