All atoms look like clouds in the microscope. Firstly, because there is no color in the microscopic world of atoms, the atom looks white. Secondly, atoms are consisted of protons and neutrons (in the core) and negatrons or electrons. If your question is "What does the molecular structure of oxygen looks like" then : It looks like that : O=O It has a double joint.

An oxygen atom is composed of a nucleus surrounded by an electron cloud. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons, while the electron cloud contains electrons. Atoms are incredibly small and cannot be seen with the naked eye.
The atom of oxygen has a covalent radius of 66,2 pm. The atomic weight is approx. 16 amu. The atomic nucleus of oxygen has 8 protons and depending on the isotope - 8,9 or 10 neutrons.
The electron configuration is: [Ne]2s2.2p4.
Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in the nucleus. Is then has 2 electrons in the 1s orbital, 2 electrons in the 2s orbital, and 6 electrons in the 2p orbitals (2 in 2px, 1 in 2py and 1 in 2pz).
An oxygen atom looks like a ball. There is a nucleus with protons in the center and electrons orbiting the nucleus.
The smallest particle of oxygen that behaves like oxygen is the oxygen molecule, which consists of two oxygen atoms bonded together. Each oxygen atom in the molecule retains its chemical properties and reactivity, making the molecule as a whole still function as oxygen.
No, an oxygen atom does not have twice the mass of a sulfur atom. An oxygen atom has a mass of approximately 16 atomic mass units (amu), while a sulfur atom has a mass of approximately 32 amu. Therefore, a sulfur atom has twice the mass of an oxygen atom.
Oxygen is a non metal element. There are 8 electrons in a single atom.
An oxygen atom is a single atom of the element oxygen, while an oxygen molecule is made up of two oxygen atoms bonded together. The molecule is the stable form of oxygen found in the atmosphere that we breathe.
The radius of an oxygen atom is approximately 0.65 angstroms.
