The Lewis structure of the oxygen molecule is shown in the image attached.

Because oxygen molecules are diatomic, they are made up of two oxygen atoms that are chemically bound to one another. For oxygen atoms to attain a stable electron state, a double bond is usually formed. There are a total of 12 electrons shared between the two oxygen atoms since each oxygen atom adds six electrons to the shared link.

The two oxygen atoms are aligned in a straight line in the linear molecular structure of.
