Stabilized liquid oxygen

Stabilized liquid oxygen

Liquid oxygen is an extremely reactive chemical that will oxidise many compounds on contact and may explode when mixed with reducing agents. No stabilized form of molecular oxygen exists and products that claim to contain any such molecule are treated with suspicion. See vitamin O for discussion of one of these products.
