1. The formation of the oxide ion, O2– (g), from oxygen atom requires first an exothermic and then an
endothermic step as shown below:
O g ; eg H 141kJ mol
O g e
O g e
2 g ; eg H 780 kJ mol
Thus process of formation of O2– in gas phase is unfavourable even though O2– is isoelectronic with
neon. It is due to the fact that
(1) Oxygen is more electronegative.
(2) Addition of electron in oxygen results in larger size of the ion.
(3) Electron repulsion outweighs the stability gained by achieving noble gas configuration.
(4) O– ion has comparatively smaller size than oxygen atom.
