Oxygen (oks'-ij-en) [ofi<c, acid; yevvav, to produce]. 

 O = 15.96; quantivalence II. One of the elements. 

 See Elements, Table of. It is a colorless, tasteless, 



odorless gas, constituting one-fifth of the atmosphere, 

 eight-ninths of water, three-fourths of organized 

 bodies, and about one-half the crust of the globe. I: 

 is characterized by its affinity for the other elements, 

 with every one of which it unites, excepting fluorin. 

 It is an active element in the oxy-acids, and in all the 

 alkaline hydrates. In organic chemistry it unites with 

 radicles and forms alcohols, ethers, and their deriva- 

 tives. Oxygen is inhaled as a therapeutic agent in 

 diseases of the respiratory organs and blood. It is 

 essential to respiration ; its combination with the tis- 

 sues yields heat and other energy. Combustion is 

 also dependent upon it, consisting of a rapid oxida- 

 tion, with the evolution of heat and light. It exists 

 also in an allotropic form known as ozone.
