气态氧无色、无臭、无味的气体。
液态氧为淡蓝色液体,沸点-182.96℃,90.188K(1个大气压)。
固态氧熔点-218.79℃,54.36K(1个大气压),
总共有6种不同的相态的固体氧是已知存在的:
α相:浅蓝色,在1个大气压下,温度低于23.8 K,单斜晶体结构。
β相:淡蓝色并夹杂粉红色,在1个大气压,温度低于43.8 K下存在,菱面体晶体结构(在室温及高温压力开始转变为O4)。
γ-相:淡蓝色,在1个大气压,温度54.36 K下存在,立方晶体结构。
δ相:橙色,通过施加9GPa的压强,在室温下存在。
ε相:暗红色到黑色,在室温下,压强超过10GPa下存在。
ζ相:金属的形式,在压强超过96 GPa下存在。

A total of 6 differentphasesof solid oxygen are known to exist:
α-phase:light blue— forms at 1 atm below 23.8 K,monocliniccrystal structure.
β-phase:faint bluetopink— forms at 1 atm below 43.8 K, rhombohedral crystal structure, (at room temperature and high pressure begins transformation to tetraoxygen).
γ-phase:faint blue— forms at 1 atm below 54.36 K, cubic crystal structure.
δ-phase:orange— forms at room temperature by applying a pressure of9GPa
ε-phase:dark-redtoblack— forms at room temperature at pressures greater than 10 GPa
ζ-phase:metallic— forms at pressures greater than96GPa
It has been known that oxygen is solidified into a state called the β-phase at room temperature by applying pressure, and with further increasing pressure, the β-phase undergoesphase transitionsto the δ-phase at 9 GPa and the ε-phase at 10 GPa; and, due to the increase inmolecular interactions, the color of the β-phase changes to pink, orange, then red (the stable octaoxygen phase), and the red color further darkens to black with increasing pressure. It was found that a metallic ζ-phase appears at 96 GPa when ε-phase oxygen is further compressed.
