Answer:

two atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

In its stable molecular form, oxygen exists as two atoms and is written O2. to distinguish it from an atom of oxygen O, or ozone, a molecule of three oxygen atoms, O3. Even though each of these is all oxygen, combining atoms of the same element may give very different properties to the molecule.
