still not as trippy as transparent sodium.

at room temperature.

protip everything is magnetic just in different aspects

i can't answer your question and if you ask why im gonna point you over to feynman

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramagnetism
This is known as paramagnetism. Oxygen isn't a metal, but it's attracted to magnets due to unpaired electrons.

fucking wikipedia heroes.

can we Heat up iron or any other metal to the point that it boils and turn's to a gas?


can we cool liquid nitrogen or any other gas to the point where it's solid?

>i dont know an anything about chemistry

>>1843431
We can heat up any substance to the point where it's a gas
The only substance that does not solidify at absolute zero is Helium, but under extremely high pressures it will solidify.

>>1843431
Yes

>>1843431
Here's a youtube video of solid nitrogen

Pressure has just as much to do with freezing/boiling as temperature does

Holy shit... what does solid oxygen look like?
what does Iron gas look like?

>>1843431
yes
yes

also, helium 4 is never magnetic and is never solid at normal pressure

>>1843465
Solid oxygen looks like normal ice and iron gas is invisible.

try looking up at the sun sometime.

>>1843479
>invisible
I mean transparent

>>1843450
>The only substance that does not solidify at absolute zero is Helium

why ?

>>1843479
>>1843485
you've took it out of your ass

halogens are colored

>>1843495
Helium has extremely weak attractions between its atoms, for a variety of reasons having to do with its molecular structure. It is a liquid at normal pressure and absolute zero, and also a superfluid.

>>1843507
Oxygen is not a halogen and halogens are not colored unless you are running a current through them.

>>1843495

This.

>>1843513
Actually halogens are colored. But still.

>>1843513
>halogens are not colored

O RLY ?

and he was talking about iron gas and oxygen ice
