Here is the answer for your question
Answer given by Shamita is correct.The reason behind this is, for some elements , the shells are not filled completly which means they are not stable.Octet Rule states that for the 3 shells , electrons filled must be 2,8,8. But in oxygen , electronic configuration is : 2,8,7.To make the atom full and stable , two oxygen atoms must join to form stable.Thats the reason why we represent the oxygen as 02.
