Bohr Model of the Atom of Oxygen

**Symbol:** O **Atomic number:** 8 **Relative atomic mass:** 15.999 **Description:** Oxygen is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. In its liquid state, it exhibits a bluish hue. Oxygen atoms are highly reactive and typically exist as a stable diatomic molecule, O₂. **Applications:** Oxygen is used in the production of iron and steel, metal welding and cutting, the glass industry, and in medical devices such as breathing apparatuses. It is also used as an oxidizer in rocket fuel. **Occurrence:** Oxygen is the most abundant element on Earth and is present in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and the Earth's crust. It is a vital biogenic element, forming a key component of all living organisms. According to Bohr's atomic model, electrons in an oxygen atom move in fixed, circular orbits with constant energy. The oxygen atom consists of eight positively charged protons, eight neutrons, and eight negatively charged electrons. The protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, while the electrons move around the nucleus in defined circular paths.
