seeing as how oxygen is a diatomic molecule; there are actually twice this number of ATOMS (as asked in the question)

∙ 12y agoIt would depend on the size of the container, and how much, if any, it was compressed. I hope others can improve this answer. Whoever said that because it was a gas it didn't contain any atoms, well lets just say they don't know the difference between a hole in the ground and a body part on their backside.

∙ 15y agoTechnically all elements contain one atom, the atom of the element itself - in this case, Oxygen. In nature Oxygen is one of 7 elements that is diatomic, and so will usually be found as O2, containing two Oxygen atoms.

How many oxygen atoms are in iron?
There are no iron atoms in oxygen. Oxygen is an element in itself so it can not be complicated by another element unless it becomes a molecule of something else. Usually iron that has been mixed with oxygen can be form an iron oxide.
How many oxygen atoms are in hydrogen?
none, since hydrogen is a pure chemical element consisting of only hydrogen atoms.
Is Oxygen a single element or more than one element?
Oxygen is an element. Gaseous oxygen (the kind in the air you breathe) is called molecular as it consists of two oxygen atoms (O2).
Atoms in a molecule of oxygen?
Oxygen is an element. The oxygen in our atmosphere typically combines with itself, as does the nitrogen, forming a diatomic molecule--O2. So the two atoms in a molecule of oxygen would both be oxygen atoms.
Is oxygen is element or compound?
Oxygen is both a compound and an element. In nature, Oxygen forms bonds with itself to form a compound consisting of two elemental oxygen atoms to form one compounded oxygen molecule. This is O2.
How many oxygen atoms in carbon?
Zero. Oxygen is an element.
How many different elements are in a oxygen molecule?
Oxygen is an element in its own right, so it only contains one element: oxygen.
Name each element in glucose and state how many atoms of each element there are?
C6H12O6. Six carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms.
What atoms are in the oxygen element?
2 oxygen
What is Quartz is rich in which element?
Quartz consists of silicon and oxygen (2 times as many oxygen atoms than silicon atoms).
How many atoms of oxygen are in a molecule of calcium?
None. Calcium is an element.
Why do all atoms of an element have the same chemical prperties?
Because they are all the same type of atoms. Oxygen is an element. If you have 10 oxygen atoms, they will all behave like oxygen, since they are the same element.
How many atoms are found in oxygen?
oxygen is an element. It is made of only atoms. So I guess 1, since 1 oxygen atom is 1 oxygen atoms. However, it has 6 protons and electrons.
How many atoms of each element can be found in a unit HC2H3O2?
2 Carbon atoms, 4 Hydrogen atoms, 2 Oxygen atoms
Which element has eight atoms?
Oxygen.
How many oxygen atoms are in iron?
There are no iron atoms in oxygen. Oxygen is an element in itself so it can not be complicated by another element unless it becomes a molecule of something else. Usually iron that has been mixed with oxygen can be form an iron oxide.
What do you know about all the atoms in the element oxygen?
2 atoms of oxygen joined togetherBy mass, oxygen is the third-most abundant element in the universe, after hydrogen and helium. At STP, two atoms of the element bind to form dioxygen.
