The BR practice tests note that "Oxygen gas is paramagnetic" in its passages (which O2 is not), it seems quite clear that they are referring to O and not O2 when saying "Oxygen gas."
Yet everywhere else, it seems to note Oxygen gas as O2.
I was wondering, is there a convention in atomic chemistry where a "gas" refers to the molecule's monoatomic state?
