Question

What is the short form of oxygen?

Answer 1

`O_2` is technically the the short form of oxygen.

Explanation:

Oxygen gas is two oxygen atoms. This is due to Oxygen being an diatomic element. Diatomic means the it likes to be in a pair, and this is because of how reactive it is. Other examples of diatomic gases are `N_2` and `F_2`. This is Nitrgen and Florine gas. I hope this helps!

Answer 2

`O_2`

Explanation:

By short form, I'm guessing that you want the chemical formula of oxygen. Oxygen gas exists in its diatomic state, `O_2`, as it'll be more stable that way.
