there are only three forms in witch matter can exist. a substance can be solid, liquid, or gas. the form that a particular substances appears in depends on the temperature. for example, very cold water becomes ice, whereas water between the temperaturs of 0 and 100 degrees celsius will be liquid, and anything more will be is gasseous form. the same is true for oxygen, except that it is only a solid at extremely low temperaturs. so the only form that you will ever see oxygen in is as a gass, just like all of the other gasses that make up the air around you.
