Assertion : Superoxides of alkali metals are paramagnetic.
Reason : Superoxides contain the ion `O_(2)^(-)` which has one unpaired electron.

Assertion : Super-oxides of alkali metals are para-magnetic. Reason : Super-oxides contain the ion O_(2)^(-) which has one unpaired electron.

Assertion : Supeoxides of alkali matels are paramagnetic. Reason : Superoxides conatain the ion O_(2)^(-) which has one unpaired electron in its anti-bonding molecule orbital.

This question has Statement I and Statement II. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements. Statement - I : Superoxides of alkali metals are paramagnetic. Statement - II: Superoxides contain the ion which has one unpaired electron.

Why superoxides of of alkali metals are paramagnetic ?

Why superoxides of of alkali metals are paramagnetic ?

Assertion: Superoxide ion is paramagnetic whereas peroxide ion is diamagnetic. Reason: Superoxide ion [O=O]^(-) has one unpaired electron whereas peroxide ion [O=O]^(-) has no unpaired electron.

All alkali metal superoxides contain the ion [O_(2)] . They are

Superoxides are paramagnetic in nature. Give reason.
