Interestingly, it is also possible to inject an additional electron to
an individual oxygen molecule with the same tip, and then observe the transition from the inactive to the active state.
At the Vienna University of Technology, it has now been possible to selectively switch
individual oxygen molecules sitting on a titanium oxide surface between a non-reactive to a reactive state using a special force microscope.

individual cell must on its own extract electrons from food that are then transported along the cell's membrane until they reach an
oxygen molecule.

individuals have two copies of a genetic mutation that produces an abnormal change in hemoglobin, the primary

oxygen in the blood.

Any
individual hydrocarbon
molecule in your gasoline might contain six, or seven, or eight, or etc. atoms of Carbon, and each ONE of those Carbon atoms can create a
molecule of CO2, when combined with
Oxygen gas.
When petroleum is burned, some energy is required to separate the
molecules into
individual atoms, but much more energy is given back as the carbon and hydrogen atoms combine with
oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water vapor.
So your comment about needing to account for
individual CO2
molecules are not scientifically valid and the C12 / C13 / C14 proportions as well as the
oxygen concentration issue are still valid and correct.
Sunlight can readily split ozone into an
oxygen molecule and an
individual oxygen atom.
However, because there are a lot more
oxygen atoms in an
oxygen multimer than in a regular diatomic
oxygen molecule, the ultraviolet light doesn't have to split the
oxygen into
individual atoms.
But when their temperature is lowered and they form a water
molecule, the symmetry of the
individual atoms is broken as they form a
molecule with 105 degrees between the hydrogen -
oxygen bonds.
However, gases are different: An
individual molecule of nitrogen or
oxygen is non-polar and even its modes of oscillation are non-polar.
