What is the charge of oxygen gas?

Answer 1

It is neutral.

Oxygen gas, #"O"_2"#, has no charge. The oxygen atoms form a double bond and the molecule is linear in shape, making the molecule nonpolar.

The four dots overlapped on the oxygen gas molecule represent the double bond, two for each bond.
