Yes, Oxygen is a single atom. The air we breath is actually DiOxygen and is a Molecule consisting of 2 single Oxygen atoms. Named in about 1777AD, O2 is still incorectly called Oxygen instead of DiOxygen by most people. Not as simple to change this as it was changing "4WD" to "SUV". But one lives in hope.
