Well,

As Oxygen is a gas, its mollecular structure is unable to combine with many of the common alkali and nobel gasses due to the inequality of the outer electron shell. Although it is difficult, Oxygen in its purest form can be combined with Radium in small quantities, creating RaO. This is used in many plastics found in consumer goods.

Hope this helps!

Oxygen is highly reactive and commonly combines with other elements to form compounds. In fact, most of the Earth's crust is made up of oxygen in combination with other elements like silicon, aluminum, and iron. Oxygen is a key component in many important compounds, such as water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
