Yes, oxygen is a pure element that has atoms.
However, the allotrope dioxygen (O2) is what we breathe, a molecular form of 2 oxygen atoms. Similarly, the gas ozone (O3) is a molecular combination of 3 oxygen atoms that has greatly altered properties.

Does oxygen contain one atom of nitrogen?
no oxygen is an element of one atom and that's an oxygen atom
What is the co valency number of oxygen?
Two, unless an oxygen atom is bonded to another oxygen atom or to a fluorine atom.
What kind of charge would the oxygen atom have compared to the oxygen?
The oxygen atom is neutral.
Is an oxygen atom have twice the mass of a sulphur atom?
No. On average a sulfur atom is twice the mass of an oxygen atom.
Does an oxygen atom weight the same as a hydrogen atom?
an oxygen and a hydrogen atom do not weight the same
Are there molecules in oxygen?
No, Oxygen is an atom, and as such is composed of protons, neutrons and electrons. There are no molecules in oxygen, but a single oxygen atom becomes a molecule when it is combined with another oxygen atom to form O2.
What is the difference between an oxygen atom and an oxygen molecule?
An oxygen atom is an atom with eight protons and eight electrons. An oxygen molecule is a particle that consists of two oxygen atoms that are bonded together.
What is the difference between oxygen atom and an oxygen molecule?
An oxygen atom is an atom with eight protons and eight electrons. An oxygen molecule is a particle that consists of two oxygen atoms that are bonded together.
What atom shows similar properties to oxygen?
A Nitrogen atom shows the most similar properties to an Oxygen atom.
What happens if oxide atom becomes an oxygen atom?
Oxide is the ion form of oxygen. It forms when an oxygen atom gains an extra two electrons. So an oxide ion would become an oxygen atom by losing two electrons.
Is an atom of iron the same the same as atom of oxygen?
An atom of iron has 26 protons. An atom of oxygen has 8 protons. The atoms are significantly different.
Is an atom a oxygen atom or carbon atom?
That would depend on how many protons exist in the nucleus of the atom. An atom with 6 protons is a carbon atom; 7 protons is nitrogen, and 8 = oxygen.
