Liquid oxygen (O2) (cyan liquid) in a beaker.When liquid oxygen (O2) is poured from a beaker into a strong magnet, the oxygen is temporarily suspended between the magnet poles, owing to its paramagnetism.
Liquid oxygen, sometimes abbreviated as LOX or LOXygen, is a clear cyanliquid form of dioxygenO2. It was used as the oxidizer in the first liquid-fueled rocket invented in 1926 by Robert H. Goddard,[1] an application which is ongoing.
