OXYGEN. 13 Fig. Collecting O oxer icater. every element except fluorine. From some of itscompounds it escapes explosively on the slightestblow, while from others it can be liberated only bythe most powerful means. Its action on a substanceis called oxidation of the substance, and the productsare oxides. It is incombustible, but a vigorous sup-porter of combustion. The following experiments will illustrate its chem-ical energy. 1. By blowing quickly upward upon a candle, ex-tinguish the flame, and leave a glowing wick. Ifthis be plunged into a jar of 0, the coal will burstinto a brilliant blaze. The experiment may berepeated many times before the 0 will be exhausted. 14 INORGANIC CHEMISTRY. Fig. 2. W ???inn:
