Oxygen atoms are neutral, and so their net charge is zero. This is because its nucleus has the same number of eight positively charged protons as there are (also) eight electrons in the shells around it.
The oxygen atom is neutral.
In a water molecule (H2O), the oxygen atom carries a partial negative charge due to its higher electronegativity compared to hydrogen atoms. This causes the shared electrons to spend more time closer to the oxygen, resulting in a slight negative charge on the oxygen and a slight positive charge on the hydrogen atoms. However, in terms of formal charge, the oxygen atom typically has no charge when it is neutral and bonded correctly in a molecule.
A neutron does not have a charge -- its neutral
a positive charge caused by a covalent bond with oxygen
A negative charge exists because of the electronegativity of oxygen.
The oxygen atom is neutral.
An atom that has the same amount of protons and electrons has no net charge and therefore is neutral.
Neutral or no charge.

Oxygen -2 Hydrogen +1
Oxygen typically has a negative charge when it forms ions, such as in the case of the oxide ion (O2-). In its neutral state, oxygen atoms do not have a net charge.
