It is an element not a compound.

No, oxygen is an element. It is diatomic, meaning it contains two atoms, but that does not make it a compound. A compound is a combination of two or more separate elements.

oxygen is an element and no it can not be separated any further but compounds can be separated by being heated up: its like water if u leave it in the sun it becomes in to a gas (oxygen)

Oxygen is not considered a compound, although it is composed of molecules of O2.
Yes, it can: 2HgO + heat ===> 2Hg + O2

NO
oxygen is not a compound because it is on the periodic table. (O)
water is a compound (H2O)
