За нормальних умов кисень є газом без кольору та запаху, який складається з двохатомних молекул. Для отримання кисню в лабораторних умовах застосовують декілька методів. Кисень – сильний окислювач і, з’єднуючись з багатьма елементами, утворює оксиди. Реакції утворення оксидів екзотермічні (exothermic), що часто призводить до загоряння елемента, який сполучується з киснем або того, який утворює це сполучення.
Кисень та його сполуки необхідні для підтримання життя. Вони відіграють важливу роль у процесах обміну речовин та дихання.
Озон – один із алотропів (allotrope) кисню. Це блакитний газ, що володіє невеликою розчинністю в воді. За низьких концентрацій він нетоксичний, але в концентраціях, які перевищують 100 мільйонних долів, стає токсичним.
Озон реагує з алкенами (alkene), розщеплюючи (to split) їхні подвійні зв’язки (bond) у процесі, відомому як озоноліз (ozonolysis), та утворюючи органічні сполуки, що називаються озонідами (ozonide).

No other element is more important to life than oxygen. It is not only the most widely distributed element on the surface of the globe, but it is absolutely necessary to the maintenance of life. To be sure, air breathing animals would die within a few minutes if the supply of oxygen in the atmosphere stopped suddenly. After we have learned the methods of oxygen's preparation, let us study its main reactions.
Combining
with an element, oxygen forms a product called an oxide. The process
is called oxidation. There are only a few elements
which are attacked by oxygen.
Among the substances which are unaffected by
it we should mention inert gases.
Combinations with oxygen often liberate heat and light and this process is known as combustion. There are some elements which do not catch fire unless they are heated. Some substances will ignite even if slightly heated; others have to be heated before taking fire. The temperature at which a substance ignites is called its kindling point. Once these reactions are started, they liberate heat and light. The heat which is liberated maintains the substance at or above the kindling temperature.
The amount of heat which is liberated by very slow oxidation such as rusting of metals and the decay of wood is the same as that which is liberated by rapid combustion, but there is no rise in temperature because the heat is radiated to the surrounding air. The difference between combustion, on the one hand, and corrosion and decay, on the other, is one of the rates of reaction and temperature at which these reactions take place.
