oxygen atoms does become more stable when forming compounds as either ionic or covalent compounds are formed, leading to a full valence shell. a full valence shell is obtain due to giving (ionic) or sharing (covalent) of the electrons

They become more stable because they achieve a full outer shell of valence electrons with the magic number of 8.
