Compare the relative stability of the following species and indicate their magnetic properties: `O_(2)`,`O_(2)^(o+)`,`O_(2)^(ө)`(superoxide),`O_(2)^(-2)`(peroxoide).
A
`O_(2)^(2-)gt O_(2)^(-)gt O_(2)gt O_(2)^(+)`
B
`O_(2)^(+)gtO_(2)gtO_(2)^(-)gtO_(2)^(-2)`
C
`O_(2)^(+)gtO_(2)^(-)O_(2)^(-2)gtO_(2)`
D
`O_(2)^(2-)gtO_(2)gtO_(2)^(-)gtO_(2)^(+)`
Text Solution
Verified by Experts
The correct Answer is:
B
Compare the relative ……… Stability `prop` Bond `O_(2)` - Bond order `= 2`, Paramagnetic `O_(2)^(+)` - Bond order `= 2.5` , Paramagnetic `O_(2)^(-)` - Bond order `= 1.5` , Paramagnetic Order of relative stability is `O_(2)^(+)gtO_(2)gtO_(2)^(-1)gtO_(2)^(-2)`
