Oxygen is a very electronegative element, which means that when it forms bonds with other atoms, it nearly always has a negative oxidation number. Since oxygen has six valence electrons, it only needs to gain two more to form a complete octet; hence, oxygen tends to only share or gain 2 electrons when it bonds with other atoms.
