Nitrogen vs Oxygen

(Compare and Contrast)

Compare
to examine the character or qualities of especially in order to discover resemblances or differences or to respresent as simillar
Contrast
to compare in order to show unlikeness or differences; note the opposite natures, purpose, etc of:
Bubble Maps
used to describe qualities using adjectives ("sparkle words") and adjectives phrases. As a writing tool it enriches students' abilities to identify qualities and use descriptive words. In the center circle, write the word or thing being described.

Differences

1. Symbol

The symbol of Nitrogen is N and the symbol for Oxygen is O.

2. Group

Nitrogen group VI A while Oxygen group VII A.

3. Valence Electrons

Nitrogen has five electrons in its outer most orbit (orbit 2). Oxygen has six electrons in its outer most orbit (orbit 2).

4. Atomic Number

Nitrogen has an atomic number of seven, and Oxygen has an atomic number of eight.

5. Atomic Mass

Nitrogen = 14.01 and Oxygen = 16.

6. Electronegativity

Nitrogen = 3.04 and Oxygen = 3.44.

7. Reactivity

Nitrogen is inert while oxygen is highly reactive so a spark anywhere near liquid oxygen is extremely dangerous if other flammables are anywhere near.

8. Abundance on air

There is more of nitrogen in the earth's air than oxygen. Nitrogen makes up most of our breatheable air 75%. Oxygen only makes up 25% of our air.

9. Harmness

Nitrogen if breath out in large amount may harm and oxygen never harms.

Similarities

1. Phase

Both are gasses at room temperature.

2. Period

Both are on the second period in periodic table.

3. Diatomic molecule

Both form diatomic molecules (ie O₂ N₂ H₂ Cl₂)

4. Involved in organic chemistry

Both are involved in organic chemistry (ie organic chemistry mainly considers H, C, O, N, S, P, Cl, Br, I).

5. Helpful to tires

Nitrogen and Oxygen are helpful to filled tires.
