Best Answer

Oxygen is an element and therefore is only contained by itself. However, it can be abstractly said that all elements with atomic numbers above eight "contain" oxygen, because if you removed enough neutrons, protons, and electrons from any element above 8, you would have oxygen. (Or at least, you would have an unstable atom).
