The formation of the oxide ion,

Question: 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) + e O(g) ; ; ∆ HV = 141 kJ mol1 O (g) + e O2 (g) ; ∆ HV = + 780 kJ mol1 Thus the process of formation of O2 in the gas phase is unfavourable even though O2 is isoelectronic with neon. It is due to the fact that (i) oxygen is more electronegative. (ii) addition of electron in oxygen results in larger size of the ion. (iii) electron repulsion outweighs ...
