If I understand it right, an acceptor atom is that one which
accepts the electrons, then it
has positive charge and thus it is able to attract the
negatively charged electrons.

Not O2, but one atom of oxygen.

If an acceptor atom is placed in a pure semiconductor, it will
accept one or more electrons from the valence band of the
semiconductor. This will permit positive holes in the conduction
band to carry electrical current - the overall result is that the
material will behave as a p-type semiconductor.

Donor atoms are those impurity atoms in a semiconductor material
that give free electons to the material, for example a 5-valent
atom in a semiconductor consisting of 4-valent atoms. Acceptor
atoms are 3-valent atoms in a 4-valent semiconductor, so an
acceptor atom can "accept" an electron from the surrounding atoms
what leaves a free "hole" . Free electrons (from donor atoms) and
free holes (from acceptor atoms) make the semiconductor conduct
electricity.
