There are lots of gases that are heavier than oxygen, including the elements of:
Fluorine, Neon, Chlorine, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon
If you take into account compounds, then there are lots more to add, including:
Ozone, Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Nitrous Oxides, Formaldehyde, Methane, etc.

Why is water heavier than the two gasses that compose it?
fluids are heavier than gases. When hydrogen its by itself is lighter than water as so the oxygen is also lighter. Once combined they form a fluid thus the combination of two gases produced a fluid which will turn heavier.
Why does not Co2 form the lower layer in the atmosphere?
CO2 weighs 44 and it is heavier than Nitrogen and Oxygen...it is denser than Oxygen still it is able to mix with other gases in the atmosphere
Is nitrogen heavier than oxygen?
it is heavier
What is heavier oxygen or CO2?
CO2 carbon dioxide is heavier than oxygen.
Is carbon dioxide lighter than oxygen?
carbon dioxide is heavier than oxygen therefore oxygen is lighter.
What gas is heavier hydrogen or oxygen?
oxygen gas is heavier than hydrogen gas
Which gasses are heavier than oxygen?
Carbon dioxide is denser than oxygen.
Is liquid oxygen heavier than water?
A thing's heaviness is a measure of gravity's effect on its mass. Molecule for molecule, H2O (water) is heavier than O2 (oxygen); however, you are comparing two different molecules at two different pressures and densities. Oxygen, while lighter than water (molecule for molecule) at normal pressures, is much heavier when compressed to the point of condensation. Liquid oxygen has a weight of 1.141 g/ml, whereas water's weight is 1 g/ml. They are very close to the same weight, but liquid oxygen is almost 15% heavier.
How many times heavier is one atom of carbon than one atom of oxygen?
It isn't. Carbon is 6th on the Periodic Table and Oxygen is 8. Oxygen is the heavier element. mass of oxygen / mass of carbon 15.99g / 12.01g = 1.33 heavier than carbon
Does a lighter gas effuse slower than heavier gases?
yup
What determines if gases or vapors are lighter or heavier than air?
Their densities
Why cant humans respire gases other than oxygen?
Oxygen is a gas. In addition, gases other than oxygen are involved in the respiration process - such as carbon dioxide or nitrogen.
