Oxygen atoms in water molecules are the same as oxygen atoms in any other molecules; the definition of an oxygen atom is that it is an atom which has eight protons in its nucleus. Normally it has eight neutrons and eight electrons as well, but that can vary. It is only the eight protons which define it as oxygen.
