Compare the relative stability of the fo...

Compare the relative stability of the following species and indicate their magnetic properties.
`O_2, O_2^+, O_2^-` (Superoxide), `O_2^(2-)` (peroxide)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Bond orders of the different species are:
`O_(2)(2.0),O_(2)^(+)(2.5),O_(2)^(-)(1.5),O_(2)^(2-)(1.0)`
Relative stability : `O_(2)^(+) gt O_(2)gtO_(2)^(-)gtO_(2)^(2-)`
For magnetic properties, consult section 4.32.
