would i still be breathing

by mass 0.77 % is Oxygen.
that may seem little but mass of the sun is 1.988 435×10^30 kg !!!
actually its the third most common element(after Hydrogen & helium)

Sun contains 0.77% oxygen.
There are many lighter atoms on the surface of the sun, but not
many as a percentage of the surface content. The sun is so hot
that whatever atoms are there are ionized more than once( forming Plasma)
Oxygen is the third most abundant element found in the sun.
But consider the concentration of hydrogen and helium....oxygen is too scarce......not enough for breathing.
FORGET BREATHING ,U WILL GET BURNT and converted into Plasma state FIRST.
BUT IF you present oxygen to the sun, it will undergo fusion at the core and get converted to another element...so your gift will not serve the purpose of breathing!

Sounds like the Sun is going to get a New Year's gift from you.
If somehow some oxygen were sent to the Sun, it would just simply become part of the seething gases of the Sun. It would sink to the center, probably, because of its weight. It may result in CNO reactions in which 4 hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom and in which carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms act as catalysts. The presence of a metal such as oxygen on the Sun would make it somewhat closer to red giant days, as during those days is when the Sun combines three helium atoms at a time to form carbon and four to form oxygen.
As far as we are concerned, probably nothing unless you are thinking of an improbably huge sample of oxygen. You would still be breathing.

If there were enough, then Donald Trump would put up a building there and lease out space.
As others have said, there is oxygen IN the sun already so there is no need to present it there.
I believe you are looking for would it cause a chemical fire?
The answer to that is no, it is much to hot on the sun for a chemical fire even if you gift wrapped the oxygen.

There's plenty of oxygen in the sun. Would you still be breathing? I guess you are, but I don't get your question, I guess.

well, there is oxygen present in the sun. 'cause it is a gigantic nuclear furnace and starting from hydrogen, with fusion and more fusion, oxygen is formed in the sun.
you still are breathing as you're reading this aren't you ?

if oxyzen was presented to the sun due it weight it reaches to the centre and turns to CNO

AS SUN IS A HUGE MASS BALL WHICH HAS HIGH TEMPERATURE THE QXYGE CONVERTS FROM ITS GROUND STATE TO ITS MOST EXCITED STATE BY WHICH ITS VELOCITY ATTAINS MORE THAN THE ESCAPE VELOCITY OF SUN(686 KM/S) BY WHICH IT IS PUSHED OUT OF ITS ATMOSPHERE OR IT WILL CONVERTED TO A LIGHTER ELEMENT .
