oxygen is represented as O. There fore it only has one element. however if it has more than one TYPE of element it is known as a compound for example CO which is carbon and oxygen (carbon monoxide). if it has a lot of the same element it is written like this O2 (two oxygen atoms) or CO2 carbon dioxide.
