Oxygen is the 8th Element of the [[Periodic Table]]. At the atmospheric pressure and temperature of the Earth it is in the form of a colourless, odourless dimeric gas. Atomically, oxygen contains 8 [[Protons|protons]], 8 [[Neutrons|neutrons]] and 8 [[Electrons|electrons]] when not in the form of an [[Isotope]]. It has a [[Melting Point|melting point of]] 54.36oK and a [[Boiling Point|boiling point of]] 90.20oK.

Oxygen plays an important role in the biological process of [[Respiration]] where it is used as a substrate in combination with [[Glucose]] to produce [[Carbon dioxide|Carbon Dioxide]] and [[Water]]. <ref>Essential Cell Biology, Bruce et al. 3rd ed 2009, New York p488-9</ref>
