Explanation:

Oxygen's fondness for electrons can be attributed to its electronegativity, which is the second highest on the periodic table. ... The main reason lies in the way oxygen's electrons are configured. Neutral oxygen has 8 protons (straight from the periodic table) and therefore 8 electrons to balance out the positive charge.
