oxygen is a non metal
non metals are electronegative
electronegative elements like oxygen tend to accept electrons
as they have high nuclear attraction between electrons and nucleus thats why they can easily accept electrons
and non metals form covalent compounds
since oxygens valency is 2,6 it accepts 2 electons to attain octet configuration
therefore oxygen forms double bonds between itself
