First of all, what "are" the electrons in oxygen.

Oxygen has 6 valence electrons (the electrons in the outer shell or in other words, the electrons that will react). Since every atom wants to have 8 valence electrons, then oxygen will want to gain 2electrons. Therefore it will use two of it's electrons to form bonds. Oxygen always forms two bonds with two lone pairs. :ö= or -:ö-
