1. How is liquid oxygen different from liquid water?

• Liquid water is a plasma

• Liquid oxygen is difficult to produce

• Liquid water is more rare

1. Why is it difficult for scientists to produce liquid oxygen?

• The attraction that pulls the oxygen molecules toward hydrogen must overcome their kinetic energy.

• The kinetic energy that pulls the oxygen molecules toward each other must overcome the attraction that pulls them away from each other.

• The attraction that pulls the oxygen molecules toward each other must overcome the kinetic energy that pulls them away from each other.

• Oxygen is Ohio

1. What is molecular attraction?

• Electricity and magnetism in electrical circuits

• Every substance has a certain level of attraction between its molecules that pulls the planets toward each other.

• Every molecule has an attraction toward kinetic energy.

• Every substance has a certain level of attraction between its molecules that pulls the molecules toward each other.

1. Does the molecular attraction of a substance change?

• Only on Thursday

• It never changes

• It changes when kinetic energy is added or taken away.

• It changes when electrons are added or taken away.

1. Why do molecules stay close together in liquids and solids?

• Because of the attraction between the molecules

• Because of kinetic energy

• Because of electron shells.

• They don't stay close together.

1. Why do molecules move away from each other in a gas?

• Because they have a lot of molecular attraction.

• Because they are sigma.

• Because the torque and revolutions are high energy.

• Because they have a lot of kinetic energy.

1. What is the relationship between molecular attraction and kinetic energy?

• As the molecular attraction goes up, the kinetic energy also goes up.

• They play a tug of war that impacts the temperature

• They play a tug of war that impacts the motion of molecules.

• They play a tug of war that impacts the weather

Substance A is a gas and Substance B is a liquid. They are at the same temperature. Why is one a gas and one a liquid?

• Substance B is in a grid, but substance A is in a diamond structure.

• Substance B has weaker attraction, and enough energy to overcome the attraction between the molecules and fly apart. Substance A has a stronger attraction, and not enough energy to overcome the attraction between the molecules, so its molecules stay together.

• Substance A has stronger attraction and substance B has stronger kinetic energy.

• Substance A has weaker attraction, and enough energy to overcome the attraction between the molecules and fly apart. Substance B has a stronger attraction, and not enough energy to overcome the attraction between the molecules, so its molecules stay together.

1. What process do scientists use to produce liquid oxygen? List the three steps. 

• 3 Tanks -

  1. Using air, lower molecular attraction and drain off liquid water

  2. Heat above

  -183°C (-297.4°F) to create a vapor

  3. Cool it down just a little so the nitrogen solidifies

• 3 Tanks -

  1. Using air, lower temperature and drain off liquid water

  2. Cool below

  -183°C (-297.4°F) to create a liquid

  3. Heat it up just a little so the nitrogen evaporates

• 3 Tanks -

  1. Using air, lower temperature and drain off liquid nitrogen

  2. Cool below

  -183°C (-297.4°F) to create a solid

  3. Heat it up just a little so the nitrogen sublimates

1. How are hydrogen and methane similar to oxygen?

• Cows produce them

• They can become vapor on Mars.

• They can become liquid if cooled to 0º F.

• They can become liquid if cooled to extremely cold temperatures.
