'''Oxygen''' is the element with atomic number 8 and represented by the symbol O. It is a member of the halogen group on the periodic table, and is a highly reactive nonmetallic period 2 element that readily forms compounds (notably oxides) with almost all other elements. At standard temperature and pressure two atoms of the element bind to form dioxygen, a colorless, odorless, tasteless diatomic gas with the formula O₂. | '''Oxygen''' is the element with atomic number 8 and represented by the symbol O.
