Oxygen can either be diatomic, monoatomic and triatomic. The question is which one is the most stable. The most stable is obviously diatomic oxygen O2. Next is triatomic (ozone) O3 and the least stable (very unstable) is monoatomic. Monoatomic oxygen is very shortly living species combining easily (due to very high electronegativity) with large number of elements including another oxygen atom. If we are required to say which is the most common form of oxygen then we need to say it is diatomic O2 existing at room temp and atmospheric pressure as a gas.

Is chlorine monoatomic element?
No - chlorine exists as Cl2 and is thus diatomic.
What element's atoms form diatomic molecules as a liquid?
Bromine is the only element that is liquid and forms diatomic molecules Br2. Mercury is also an element and is liquid but is monoatomic.
Does O2 have a triple bond?
Of course there are two. So it is diatomic
Is He diatomic molecule?
Helium is monoatomic.
Is arsenic diatomic?
No Arsenic is monoatomic.
What are the oxygen elements?
Oxygen is a chemical element; the molecule is diatomic.
What is an element composed of molecules consisting of two atoms of that element is a?
That is called a diatomic element. Hydrogen and Oxygen are two examples of diatomic elements.

How is oxygen a compound?
oxygen is not a compound it is a diatomic (that means the element comes in pairs)
