Detailed Solution

Allotropes are diverse variations of the same element with distinct properties.

Oxygen (O) is a highly reactive element that does not exist as a single atom. Oxygen can bond to practically any other element, and if no other elements are available, it will bond to other oxygen atoms.

Allotropes of oxygen, such as the O2,O3,O4result of this process. The most frequent allotrope of oxygen is called dioxygen, O2

Dioxygen is vital for human beings as humans breathe in dioxygen. 

Another allotrope is Ozone, which is a somewhat blue-coloured molecule made up of three linked oxygen atoms. There is one more allotrope that is very rare and it is tetraoxygen (O4).
