When was oxygen invented?

Question

I was wondering who invented oxygen. thkz

Answer 1

Oxygen was not invented. It was discovered, by Swedish pharmacist Carl Wilhelm Scheele. He had produced oxygen gas by heating mercuric oxide and various nitrates by about 1772. This is not an invention, because the oxygen had been there all along. Scheele was just the first to find it.

Answer 2

Jesus invented Oxygen when he was in the womb so he would have something to breathe when he came out.  Before that the air consisted mainly of sulfur dioxide.

Answer 3

oxygen was not made in the universe at the big bang.  Instead the elements larger than H and He were made during the explosion of stars.  These nuclear blasts were powerful enough to perform fusion and the heavier elements were formed  look up poulation II and III stars.

Answer 4

The very first person to discover Oxygen was Carl Wilhelm Scheele. He discovered it a year before Joseph Priestley discovered it in Wiltshire in 1774. However Priestley is normally given the credit as his findings were the first to be published. The name oxygen was coined in 1777 by Antoine Lavoisier

Answer 10

Oxygen was first discovered by Swedish pharmacist Carl Wilhelm Scheele.

Answer 11

Oxygen was invented about 2 minutes into the existance of the universe when atoms were colliding into each other as a result of the big bang.  Nuclear Fusion occured and eventually, Oxygen.

Depending on your system of beliefs, this either happened Billions of Years Ago (BYA) or 5600 years ago...take your pick.

Now, as to the inventor, this was either God or The Big Bang (Dub' B to his homies).  Again, take your pick.

Answer 12

Why do people not understand the difference between inventing and discovering that? When I found out a few years ago that people did this, I didn't believe people could be so stupid...
