Oxygen, though usually a gas, is still in a molecule form and can be bonded to with any other molecule that is able to do so. Oxygen is a very common element in the crust because many rocks and more importantly minerals that make up those rocks use it in there atomic bonds. A simple example is Quartz, SiO2 So each single structure has one silicon atom and two oxygen atoms.
