At the molecular level, how would you describe O2?
The molecules are well packed and the molecules move rapidly and do not have a fixed shape or volumes.
It can be compressed to smaller volumes and the molecules move at high speeds
The molecules wiggle due to their fixedposition but they are far apart and they collide continuously with each other
A mixture

of two oxygen atoms bound together by a covalent bond, resulting in a stable diatomic molecule. The atoms share electrons to fill their outermost electron shells and create a stable configuration. The O-O bond length is 121 pm and the molecule has a linear geometry. O2 is a colorless, odorless gas at room temperature and pressure, with a density of about 1.4 g/L. It is highly reactive and participates in gas-phase oxidation reactions.
