Oxygen is an element and can't really be chemically created. It can be separated out from compounds that contain oxygen ( water being most common ). People can survive on oxygen that has been separated out from other compounds.

This is incorrect. You CAN die from elevated levels of oxygen at higher partial pressure levels. At normal atmospheric pressure it's pretty much impossible though.

What is meant when you say too much is bad and too little is bad?

The "Goldilocks Principle" applies to everything. For anything you can name, there is "too much!", or "too little", or "Just right!" Water; too much water, and you will drown; too little water and you die of thirst. Food; too much and you get fat, too little and you'll starve. There's a "Just right!" somewhere in between. Oxygen; too much oxygen, and you'll have seizures and you'll be brain-damaged. That's why scuba divers never dive with pure oxygen; below about 40 feet depth, the oxygen becomes toxic. Too little oxygen, and your brain will starve.
