Abstract: The article discusses the overall building of oxygen in galaxies over the ages as part of the aspect in the chemical evolution of galaxies. It defines chemical evolution as a study of the transformation of gas stars and the resulting evolution of the chemical composition of a galaxy. This galaxy for chemical evolution process offers a useful framework where one can interpret the body of observational data on elemental and isotopic abundances in stars of various ages.
