The stability of K2O, K2O2 and KO2 is in...

The stability of `K_2O, K_2O_2` and `KO_2` is in order `K_2OltK_2O_2ltKO_2` This increasing stability as the size of anion ion increases is due to stabilisation of:

A

larger cations by smaller anions through lattice .energy effects.

B

larger cations by larger anions through lattice energy effects.

C

smaller cations by smaller anions through melting pointing.

D

smaller cations by larger anions through hydration energy effect.
